The early years

Article Abstract:

The Boone and Crockett Club, formed in 1887 by the wealthy hunters of New York City, aimed to protect the big game animals of North America. The club was later named New York Zoological Society, with Theodore Roosevelt as its president. With 275 acres from the city, it was the biggest zoo in the world. It had an initial collection of 843 animals of 157 species. All the hunters worked in the zoo, and this inspired them to give up hunting.

Article Abstract:

The Endangered Species Technical Bulletin was launched in Jul. 1976 to record the status of conservation programs for threatened and endangered species. After two decades, it has become more accessible to many people through electronic technology. It publishes listed species, recovery plans and participating government agencies. The Bulletin is expected to continue so long as national endangered species programs exist.
