Global warming is one of the gravest threats facing wildlife today. Plants and animals are in real danger of falling victim because their habitat is changing too rapidly for them to keep up.

but if man has already re-introduced them, perhaps we are the ones responsible; the wolves are the innocent victims here, as well as the ranchers/wolf haters, whatever; humans must take responsibility for our own decisions. The wolves will be extinct, along with the rest of the animal world, if opinions like yours("let nature take care of itself") prevail.
Brenda at 9:25am June 7
You go, Debbie! Or we can have Sarah Palin take responsibility. She took on the Russians, sex education, government spending, and energy (oil) single-handedly. What a woman!
Been off the grid for a while as we wait and see what will happen with the delisting. Now comes the nail biting as states start coming up with quota goals as we have here in this article..

Dianne - I am an Australian. Rabbits, foxes, carp, cane toads and crown of thorns starfish are but a few of the more notable pests that have been introduced by European settlers to our country. They have reaped countless damage to our natural habitats and environments as a consequence. The great barrier reef is being decimated by the starfish, cane... Read More toads are eaten and subsequently poison local fauna that think the scourge is ensconced in the natural food chain. Rabbits were so prolific at one stage in our history the kangaroo amongst many others starved to death as a consequence.
What I am saying is we should be concerned about the eradication of natural habitat that impacts ion the survival of threatened species as a priority and that I don't classify adaptable and prolific beasties as highly or as threatened as the tiger or the polar bear or any other natural creature tipped on its ear by our rampant and thoughtless "civilising" of this (not our!) planet.

Defenders of Wildlife Bad news for polar bears: Defenders of Wildlife has learned that the Department of the Interior plans to announce today that it will let slip a chance to ensure that threatened polar bears receive all the vital protections they need under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This is a setback, but we'll keep fighting to ensure that these beloved bears get the protection they need to survive.
