If they lose their habitat, they are pretty well gone. |
It's been an animal that's been largely ignored and gone unnoticed over the years. It is a very secretive animal that has just disappeared quietly. |
Our research will document the decline of pocket gophers in Georgia, identify remaining habitat and discuss steps to ensure the long-term survival of this species. |
They are an important and declining species that we don't want to see die out. |
We hope to prevent the devastating effects of this disease by treating the young early. While peregrines have made a comeback from the brink of extinction nationwide, there is still a need to protect their nest sites and encourage population growth in Georgia. |
We want to work with landowners to encourage them to maintain the habitat. |
With a little bird like that - it's only about 5 inches long - it would be easier to believe that might have survived than even the woodpecker. |
