Santa Rosa plants gain new lease on life
Article Abstract:
It took many years to reach an agreement to remove cattle from Santa Rosa Island, the largest of the islands off the coast of southern California included in Channel Islands National Park. Elk and deer will also be phased out on the island over a longer period. This development will make it possible for the island's unique plant life, which has been placed under considerable pressure by non-native animals, to recover. Changes have already taken place in several of the island's riparian zones.

Mexican wolf returns to the wild
Article Abstract:
Three families of captive Mexican gray wolves were released into the wilderness of the Apache National Forest in eastern Arizona at the end of Mar 1998. The reintroduction of the 11 captive-bred gray wolves into the wild marks a turning point in efforts to restore the endangered wolf species into its traditional habitat in the Southwest. Participants in the program include the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the Arizona Game and Fish Dept and the US Forest Service and Wildlife Services.

Yellowstone wolves bear pups
Article Abstract:
Eight wolf pup males and four females, born to an alpha wolf female, reintroduced to the Yellowstone National Park area as part of the Rose Creek pack of gray wolves, are the first wolves born in the Yellowstone region in over seventy years. The pups were found by Fish and Wildlife Service biologist Joe Fontaine near Red Lodge, Montana. The discovery emphasizes the success of increasing the wolf population by the wolf reintroduction program.
