Description: Defenders announced on Aug. 20, 2010 that it will be transitioning its landmark wolf compensation program. Defenders will be providing additional support to some western states and tribes to aid in the transition as they take over compensation. The implementation of new federal legislation that provides funds to initiate state-run compensation programs will allow Defenders to focus on promoting coexistence by partnering with ranchers to prevent conflict between livestock and wolves.

Wildlife and Offshore Drilling: Coastal Wetlands
08/09/2010
| Author(s):
Defenders of Wildlife
Description: The wetlands bordering the Gulf of Mexico provide vital habitat for a remarkable variety of wild animals—including several threatened and endangered species. These same wetlands also serve as nurseries for many import ant commercial species of fish and shellfish, as well as acting as pollution filters, shoreline st abilizers and storm buffers. Oil from BP’s Deepwater Horizon disaster poses another challenge for crucial habitats already threatened by human-caused destruction and climate ch ange.
Wildlife and Offshore Drilling: Manatees
08/09/2010
| Author(s):
Defenders of Wildlife
Description: The gentle and curious “sea cow” is one of Florida’s iconic animals, and one of the country’s most imperiled marine creatures, with a population estimated at only 5,000. While manatees reside year-round in the coastal waters of Florida, in warm months they can be found all along the Gulf Coast, and up the Atlantic coast as far as Massachusetts. In addition to the hazards posed by boats, cold weather, habitat loss, discarded fishing gear and red tides, manatees in the Gulf are now faced with a new threat: oil from the B P Deepwater Horizon disaster.
