Hi..... My daughter is in third
grade Oklahoma Public Schools and has to do a report on
endangered animals.
The animal that was given to her was the chimpanzee. We are
searching for reasons why the chimp
is endangered (rain forest). Are
there other reasons? My daughter
is becoming very interested in the plight
of animals by doing this
paper...
Thank you
Hi there, since I didn't have anything
up about chimpanzee's I have added a section. It will be up before November
15th, 1999. Thank you for telling me about her report.

Hi there. I just wanted to let you
know that I enjoy your site very
much. It gives me much added information
on what to do to save endangered
species. My Younger sister found
information on your site and she was able to write
a report about one of the endangered
species. The school is Kumpf Middle School
in Clark New Jersey.
All in all I have to say its a great
pleasure going there and its also very nicely put together with wonderful
graphics!

I am an independent documentarian
and am working on a project for air on Animal Planet, a U.S.-based cable
network devoted to animal programming. I recently returned from Kenya where
I was documenting efforts by the Kenya Wildlife Service to curb poaching
in the game parks. We got some very good material on their new anti-poaching
programs but were not as successful in showing the damage poaching wreaks
on wildlife and the environment. In searching the web, I noticed your pictures
of the tragedy suffered by rhinos and the ceremonial daggers in Yemen
their horns are used for. We are very interested in including this aspect
of poaching but do not have pictures of the actual daggers. I wonder you
might consider letting us show your photos on the air. We are hoping to
illustrate how endangered rhinos are killed for ornamental use. We are
also interested in your picture of a rhino that was killed by poachers.
Your photos would go far in helping people understand the nature of these
crimes. My company is called White Paper Productions and we produce out
of Washington, D.C. We're a small company but hope to make a high quality
documentary that would air just prior to CITES.
Please let me know if there is
any chance you might have the material I've just decribed.
Thank you very much. Looking forward
to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Belle Adler
Producer

Thank you for the info on your web
site.
We have a neat circular hole in
the garden, about 1 to 1 & half inches in diameter. It is very clean
outside the hole with no trace of scraped earth. It goes as far as one
can see into the ground, bending slightly so that it runs under a
shrubby hedge. Is this likely to belong to a wood mouse? The garden is
about a third of an acre and quiet. There is plenty of food about and we
feed the birds seeds nuts etc.

I found one in my garden today!
I live in Roseville, California and have never heard of their existence
around here. I've studied wildlife fairly extensively but have never heard
of them in the Sacramento region. Is this rare? I understand if you don't

Dear Lady Wildlife,
I hope you do not mind me writing to you, but i found your details on your endangered wildlife web site and though you may be able to help me. I am writing from the Wildscreen Trust in Bristol, the hosts of the biennial Wildscreen festival which celbrates excellency in wildlife film production. I am currently engaged in a new Wildscreen initiative called ARKive. ARKive aims to create the world's first digital library of endangered species. ARKive will exploit the ltest technology to preserve images and audio of the most threatened flora and fauna for the benefit of future generations. The contents of ARKive will be accessible on the Internet for scientific and educational purposes to help raise public awareness about biodiversity and the nedd to conserve it.
A recent injection of funding has paved the way for the initiation of research into a Global Chapter of ARKive to accompany the British Chapter already well under construction. Our first task has been to draw up a list of 500 of the most critically endangered species, as recognised by the IUCN and CITES. As I am sure you can imagine, there are several species upon our 'most wanted' list that you feature on your web site.
In order to achieve its purpose, ARKive is entirely reliant upon the co-operation of a combination of commercial picture libraries, production companies, conservation organisations and private collectors who are willing to submit media to be digitally recorded. I was wondering whether you might consider submitting some of your still photographs of endangered species to ARKive. The copyright of any donated media remains with the cameraperson at all times, and would be marked accordingly with a hyperlink to the applicable source. Furthermore, all images would be visibly and electronically watermarked, and published at a sufficiently low resolution in order that they could not be downloaded for commercial purposes.
As a not-for-profit organisation, unfortunately we would not be in the position to pay for the use of images. However, we could provide a Fed Ex account number to cover any shippping costs.
Please find attached a copy of the ARKive summary statement which discloses the nature of the relationship between media donors and ourselves in more detail. If you were interested, I could also make available a copy of our species list. I hope, having perused the literature, you will see how important an intitiative ARKive will become in terms of conservation, and also how it could prove a useful showcase of your work.
Please do not hesitiate to contact me if you have any queries, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely
Richard Hughes

Panthers. I have search the web and come up with great information, I guess
what I'm asking from you is help. I'm new to all this computer stuff, that
means sites, rings, the whole 9 yards. If I could get help from you or
some one you know, I will be more than happy to link back to your site,
and any other one that gives information or pictures. My husband made the
Caracal, Panther, and Eagle page, if I could get a picture of a Falcon
he can make a set for me. I found your site through a web ring that I belong

I am trying to find out more about the woodland serval. I have a male who I believe is a woodland. Apparently I have the gene in my breeders. With the last four litters I have had kittens who were distinctively different than there litter mates. The coats were darker with a different texture and smaller spots. A lady by the name of Deborah-Ann Milette has one of my cats and says Motuka is definitely a Woodland. Any further information you could share would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: RE: "Taz" the gray wolf
Date: Thu, 10 May 2001 11:28:44

I had the pleasure of meeting a
captive breed 1-yr old gray wolf named "Taz" last week at a horse
stable in Suffolk, Virginia. I think he is close to (if not
all) full-blooded. I know it's illegal to own a full-blooded wolf
here, but they probably say he's part mixed to make it legal. While
he is a beautiful and sweet animal, he is kept in a pen in the full
sun that is too small and never allowed out. He has worn all the
grass away from pacing. While he seems taken care of as far as food
and water, I worry about him in that small pen with nothing but a small
dog house to escape the heat this summer. I don't know who owns him
- he's being boarded at this stable and I was just visiting some friends
horses there. I think it's one of those all-too-familiar cases of
they are cute as a puppy and it's glamorous to say you own one, but
they quickly grow too large and too unpredictable. While he
loves attention, you must first earn his trust, especially with men.
Are there any resources in this part of the country that could help this
animal? I know that Busch Gardens in Williamsburg has a new wolf
exhibit and I wonder if they might be able to take him. I saw
the article on your site about the relocation of a wolf by PETA, but I'm
hesitant to contact them because they are a bit too ealous for me
at times. I layed awake last night tossing and turning thinking about
him.
Thanks for any information you
can provide,

Dear Nancy;
I waited hoping you would
take the time to reply to the email I sent back to you. But with
not enough information there is nothing I can do to help the wolf.
Or for that matter even investigate it. Since you have not provided
a location and more detailed information we are forced to drop the
issue. Regretfully.. If you change your mind please email me...

Thanks for your reply which I did receive. I'm sorry I didn't reply to your first email, but since then, I learned that the owner of the stable where he is kept is also the owner of the wolf. My husband said he had a lengthy conversation with the owner about Taz and apparently he is allowed to roam occasionally. The owner of the stable also lives on the property, which at least made me feel that he is getting care and attention daily. I will continue to check in on him and let you know in the future if his condition changes.
If you are still interested in pursuing
an investigation, he is at Briarmar (sp?) Stables on Rt. 17 in Suffolk.
Also, I would like to remain anonymous, to protect my friends who board
their horses there. I have been unable to look up the address, but
you can get there by taking Rt. 17 North from I-664 in Suffolk. I
would guess it's about 5 miles from there on the left, soon after a high-rise
bridge. There is a large sign you can see from the road. Another
landmark is a two-story octagon shaped house on the water on the other
side of the bridge - right before you get to the stables. I have
one picture which I'll try to send you tomorrow - I didn't bring it with
me to work.
Thanks for your concern,
Nancy
