Book Description
The Great Plains were once characterized by vast expanses of grass, complex interdependence among species, and dynamic annual changes due to weather, waterways, and fire. It is now generally accepted that less than one percent of the original tallgrass prairie remains. Habitat fragmentation, the loss of natural predator-prey associations, changes in species composition, and various commercial practices continue to threaten grassland biodiversity. Recently scholars and conservationists have discussed opportunities for large-scale restoration projects in the Great Plains, but they have provided few details. Daniel Licht offers here a bold new approach to restoring and conserving the grassland ecosystem. In describing hypothetical reserves, he explains how they could help conserve grassland biodiversity, reduce federal expenditures on agriculture, increase recreational opportunities, and sustain rural economies outside the reserves.

Book Description
In April 1997, the US and Canadian governments signed a Framework to co-operate in identifying and recovering shared species at risk. The goal of the Framework is to prevent populations of wild species shared by the United States and Canada from becoming extinct as a consequence of human activity, through the conservation of wildlife populations and the ecosystems on which they depend. This document profiles 10 examples that illustrate ways that binational efforts can improve a species' chance of survival and recovery. For each example, it provides a description of the species, its status, its ecology, and the causes of decline. It then outlines research and recovery efforts.
Maintenance and Recovery Plan for Western Spiderwort in Alberta, 2005-2010

Category : Endangered plants
Languages : en
Pages : 18
Book Description
Western spiderwort (Tradescantia occidentalis) is a herbaceous perennial flowering plant native to the Canadian prairies. In September 2001, the Minister of Sustainable Resource Development approved the listing of western spiderwort as Endangered in Alberta. At the direction of the Minister of Sustainable Resource Development, the Alberta Western Spiderwort Recovery Team was initiated in 2003 by the Director of Wildlife Management. Its primary responsibility is to facilitate and coordinate the conservation and recovery of western spiderwort in Alberta. The goal of this maintenance and recovery plan is to maintain the existing habitat and distribution of western spiderwort and to maintain a naturally, self-sustaining population of western spiderwort in Alberta.
