Recent directions in black-footed ferret recovery

Article Abstract:

The recovery efforts of the endangered black-footed ferrets, Mustela nigripes are improving, but are facing a number of biological and non-biological problems. The decline of prairie dogs due to disease or loss of land to agriculture has resulted in decline in ferret population. Ferrets depend on prairie dogs for food and shelter. Numerous research has been carried out on captive breeding and reintroduction of ferrets and the efforts have shown positive results. However, the problem of inbreeding and other organizational challenges need to be resolved to improve the ferret conservation efforts.

Prototyping for successful conservation: the eastern barred bandicoot program

Article Abstract:

The Australian eastern barred bandicoot management program show the successful application of prototyping in endangered species conservation and recovery programs. It was organized in early 1992 after evaluating factors such as the number of participants, commitment of participants to the project and other considerations that may affect the success of the prototyping effort. It boosted the number of bandicoots to 700 by the end of 1993, although the population of the species remains far from recovered.
