Speke's Gazelle (5)

Image by 5of7
Speke's Gazelle (Gazella spekei) is the smallest of the gazelle species. It is confined to the horn of Africa where it inhabits stony brush, grass steppes, and semi deserts. Severe habitat fragmentation means it is now impossible to assess the natural migratory or nomadic patterns of G. spekei. Its numbers are under threat, and despite an increase in population it was announced by the IUCN in 2007 that its status had risen from vulnerable to endangered. Captive population is maintained, and the wild population exists in the lower ten thousands. This photo was taken at the Phoenix Zoo on March 12, 2011.

Southern Appalachian bogs are one of the rarest natural communities in North America and are often home to rare plant and animal species. The conservation of these habitats and the species found there is a high priority for the Service and many of our partners. This photo is a mountain sweet pitcher plant, a bog species listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act.

Gray-Shanked Douc, Endangered Primate Rescue Center, Cúc Phương National Park

Image by чãvìnkωhỉtз
P1020902

CRITICALLY ENDANGERED (IUCN Red List of Threatened Species), with an estimated population of between 550 to 700 individuals. They are hunted for bush meat and for traditional medicine purposes. There bones are used to make a substance called monkey bone balm which is believed to improve hemoglobin regeneration, renal function, lack of appetite, insomnia, and anemia. Gray-shanked doucs are also used in the exotic wild life trade. The adults are killed and the infants are taken and sold as pets. The Vietnam War also played a big part in reducing the population. Soldiers would use the monkeys for target practice. Deforestation and habitat fragmentation are also major threats. Laws are in place to prevent the destruction of their habitat and to prevent hunting but they are not strongly enforced.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray-shanked_douc

The Endangered Primate Rescue Center (EPRC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the rehabilitation, breeding, research, and conservation of endangered primates, and to the protection of their habitats.

The overall goal of the EPRC is the establishment of stable populations of highly endangered primate species in captivity as a source for reintroduction programs.

The EPRC is home to about 150 primates in 15 taxa (species and subspecies), - many of which are critically endangered - including six species which are kept only at the EPRC and in no other facility in the world.

All of the animals at the EPRC, except for those bred in captivity, are victims of poaching and the illegal animal trade. Nine primate species have bred at the center and a total of more than 100 infants have been born, some of them being the first ever of their species to be born in captivity.

The primates are kept in more than 50 large enclosures and in two electrically fenced semi-wild areas of primary forest which are 2 ha and 5 ha. These semi-wild enclosures are the first steps towards its ambitious goal of reintroducing the primates to their natural habitat Langurs and gibbons have been released into these areas and have been successfully maintained there for several years. The center employs 20 Vietnamese people as animal keepers.

To support the reintroduction of highly endangered species, the EPRC also works to preserve and protect their natural habitats. They have worked closely with the Management Board of Van Long Nature Reserve, located close by, to successfully prepare the reserve for the successful reintroduction of the Delacour’s langur. Other successful reintroduction programs have taken place or are planned.

Endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal

Image by pmarkham
Not far from our hotel is a beach called "Secret Beach" in the community of Ko Olina on the island of Oahu. Three days now when we've walked that beach during the day we've found a 300+ pound Hawaiian Monk Seal sleeping either on the rocks or on the sand of the beach. I learned from a naturalist that was there and from the signs that this species of seal is endangered and is believed to number less than 1000. They only exist in the the Hawaiian Islands. Very cool animal. It reminded me of one of my dogs sleeping on the beach.
