Saving endangered species on Indian lands

Article Abstract:

American Indian tribal lands spread across a wide area of the conterminous US and Alaska. These lands provide habitats for rising numbers of threatened and endangered species, including the salmon and the bald eagle. While tribal lands provide quality habitat, it should be recognised that such lands are not preserves for listed species but are lands over which American Indians have ultimate authority. For this reason, they are often expected to manage habitat for listed species, which can affect opportunities for economic gain. Many successful programs have been devised to help tribes develop management programs for listed species.

AZA Species Survival Plan profile: The Snow Leopard

Article Abstract:

The snow leopard is listed as endangered, although most of its high mountain habitat remains untouched. However the ability of humans to exploit wildlife has led to it being endangered. Serious attempts to keep snow leopards in captivity began in 1891, but it was not until the 1950s that cubs survived long enough to become breeders. The American Zoo and Aquarium Association (ASA) Snow Leopard Species Survival Plan (SSP) was set up in 1984, achieving success with breeding goals.
