Mark Twain's endangered ecosystem
Article Abstract:
The savannas found in Mark Twain National Forest in Missouri are slowly disappearing because of grassland farming, timber harvesting and fire suppression. To prevent further damage to savannas including open oak woodlands and oak savannas, officials of Mark Twain National Forest have launched a habitat restoration project in cooperation with The Nature Conservancy, Morton Arboretum and the University of Missouri. The efforts have resulted in increased plant and wildlife populations and diversity in the area.

The Hawaiian Islands, 20 years later
Article Abstract:
Efforts to conserve Hawaii's endangered species since 1976 has been generally successful. More habitats were protected after public awareness of Hawaii's ecosystems was heightened. Other benefits brought by the conservation movements involve plant and bird protection and the renewal of interest in Hawaiian culture. However, the introduction of new species into the state continue to wreak havoc in the region's ecosystem.
