Today, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proudly announces the Endangered Species Bulletin has taken on an online exclusive format that will be updated bi-monthly to ensure timely updates regarding endangered and threatened species issues. Each edition will include an in-depth feature article coupled with several supporting articles, a live endangered and threatened species news feed, plus other new and social media offerings.
As the principal federal partner responsible for administering the Endangered Species Act (ESA), the Service takes the lead in recovering and conserving our Nation’s imperiled species by fostering partnerships, employing scientific excellence and developing a workforce of conservation leaders. Although we have made significant progress in safeguarding species and the habitats upon which they depend, we face continuing challenges. The road to imperiled species recovery can be a long one, full of twists and turns. A single, catastrophic event — whether natural or human-caused — can quickly undo years of progress and provide a setback to recovery. Some of the devastating flooding and wildfire events of 2011 are testament to this.
The November-December edition of the Endangered Species Bulletin outlines the implications of these extreme flooding, wildfire and drought events and the management actions currently underway to help move impacted species closer towards recovery.
Here is a sampling of more stories in this edition:

The ESA provides a safety net for fish, wildlife and plants and to date has prevented the extinction of hundreds of imperiled species, as well as promoting the recovery of many others.
