Jaguars in the United States
Article Abstract:
Jaguars are rarely seen in the US, but fossil records show that they were found throughout the southern US about 10,000 years ago. After 1960, most of them migrated to northern Mexico from where some of them occasionally cross over into Arizona. Humans are now threatening the existence of jaguars in northern Mexico, while ecological conditions in the US have improved. It has been suggested that jaguars be covered by The Endangered Species Act as they might re-colonize the habitats in the US.

Assessment of the invasive weed problem on preserves across the United States
Article Abstract:
Many solutions have been proposed to prevent or remedy the damage done by invasive weeds to natural areas around the world. To estimate the extent of the problem, The Nature Conservancy (NC) conducted surveys of 122 NC stewards in the US, 76% of who responded, revealing 237 pest species in 46 states. A database documenting invasive weeds and various control strategies has been developed to aid in remedying the problem. Types of invasive weeds and control methods are discussed.
