Ontario Building on Endangered Frog's Habitat!

Ontario is allowing the lethal removal of the endangered Fowler Toad from its habitat just to establish non-essential condos and shopping developments. This is a protected species and this sort of action should not be happening. Protect our fellow creatures, no matter how small. Meaningless destruction from big development agencies must stop! Go to SAVE THE FROGS!'s link to read more on the issue.

Iranian Cheetah

I tend to know a lot of obscure animals, so I figured I knew a great majority about cheetahs. But this is the first time I have ever heard about Iranian or Asiatic cheetahs. There are estimated to be only 70 to 110 individuals remaining in the wild. Check out the current project that is being done on these cheetahs to better understand how to conserve them. >> panthera.org <<

Proposed Listing of Northern Long-Eared Bat as Endangered Species

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has extended the public comment period until January 2nd. If this is the first time hearing news of the listing of the Northern Long-Eared Bat check out the proposal >> here << . Comments can also be submitted from this site. Bats are suffering from a fungus called white-nosed syndrome so in my opinion it would be wise for the USFWS to list them as endangered.
