Endangered Species

With just a few dozen left in the wild, things don’t look good for these critically endangered birds. But a captive-breeding program could help save them.

Many states currently are poorly equipped to assume the responsibility of caring for their threatened wildlife.

Archivists are working to save decades of film and other scientific information that could hold clues to protecting species and habitats today.

The subspecies has now been removed from the Endangered Species Act, 80 years after its last sighting.

According to the latest IUCN Red List update, 13 percent of the world’s bird species are now threatened.

We mapped out where the drilling could take place — and how it overlaps with the critical habitats of the most sensitive species at risk.

BP’s mistakes, rooted in regulator failures, revealed “such systematic failures in risk management that they place in doubt the safety culture of the entire industry.”

Panda habitats remain heavily fractured, while new research shows breeding centers expose the endangered animals to a hidden yet potentially deadly threat.

2017 was another deadly year for panthers. How many more years can this critically endangered species survive?

Drilling in the refuge was tucked into in last month’s Republican tax bill, defying decades of attempts to protect this pristine wildnerness.
