Invasive species and advancing ecological succession plague bog turtles and Karner blue butterflies; beach-nesting piping plovers must avoid both predators and bathers to survive; eagles face continuing habitat loss; and swamp pinks suffer from changes in hydrology.
The biologists of the Northeast Region Endangered Species Division of the Fish & Wildlife Service work with many partners to protect and conserve listed and candidate species.
They have cooperative management agreements with all 13 states in our region, and they carry out a large share of the recovery work.
Private conservation groups also play a major role, particularly in providing permanent habitat protection for many listed species. Species ranging from Robbins cinquefoil to Cheat Mountain salamander to Michaux sumac all benefit from site protection.
Finally, private landowners play a significant role in this region because the federal land base is limited in size. Lynx and red-cockaded woodpeckers are two species that are benefiting from certain timber management regimes on private lands.
