Prairie Wildlife Research was established in 2001 as a non-profit organization with the mission to research and conserve wildlife species of the prairie and their associated habitats. PWR works throughout the Great Plains with federal and state agencies, universities, private landowners, and other non-governmental organizations to conduct timely, economical, and quality studies and projects that contribute to sound management decisions. PWR's focus includes all wildlife species inhabiting the prairie. Projects include surveys, reintroductions of native species, habitat enhancement projects, and working with others to resolve wildlife-related issues. ... [Information of the supplier]
Going around Italy, in the right season (spring, in particular), you have a good chance to find one of the italian terrestrial orchids. The best thing to do, at this point, is to use a photographic camera and, possibly, a macro lens, to get a picture of the orchid spike and leave the plant where you have found it. The people of the "Italian Group for the Research on Wild Orchids" will be pleased because the complex natural history of this family and the continuous attack due to the anthropic use of our land lead to some danger of extinction of many orchids species. In the "Genera" window, you will find a list of the genera: clicking on the name will show a typical image in the"Image" window. The label of the image is clickable and will enter the "genus page"; if the image is clickable, this link will start a sequence of different images: this may be useful for the genera containing many species with different aspects. ...

In France, the European Hamster (Cricetus cricetus) only lives in Alsace and its population is dropping sharply. In 1972, there were 329 Alsatian towns where this animal lived; in 2014, this species is only present with certitude in 17 towns, mainly located in the South-Western area of Strasbourg. A specific action plan targeting protection of the hamster in Alsace, with the 2007-2011 National Action Plan (NAP), was aimed at boosting populations in the three Priority Action Zones, and halting population decline. In spite of progress, the viability threshold in Alsace for the European Hamster still has not been reached. Because of this, a new NAP for the European Hamster was put in place for 2012-2016. The Alister Project is a complementary and innovative approach. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
Der Bund für Umwelt und Naturschutz Deutschland e.V. (BUND) engagiert sich seit Jahren für die bedrohte Wildkatze Felis s. silvestris und ihren Lebensraum, die naturnahen Wälder und strukturreichen Heckenlandschaften. Um die scheuen Tiere effektiv schützen zu können, werden ausreichend Nachweise über ihre Verbreitung in Deutschland und ihre genetische Vielfalt benötigt. Im Rahmen des vom Bundesamt für Naturschutz mit Mitteln des Förderprogramms Biologische Vielfalt geförderten Projekts „Wildkatzensprung“ sammelt der BUND daher seit 2012 bundesweit Haarproben der Wildkatze. Diese werden vom Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg im Labor genetisch analysiert.Daraus ist Deutschlands erste Wildkatzen-Genotypen-Datenbank entstanden. In sie werden in den nächsten Jahren weitere Proben einfließen, um die wissenschaftlichen Ergebnisse des Monitorings verfeinern zu können.Gäste dieser Internetseite erhalten in den für jeden zugänglichen Menüpunkten PROJEKT und KARTE näheres zur deutschlandweiten genetischen Inventur von Wildkatzenpopulationen. ...
