Invasive Species
Species that come from a distant region or another continent can become invasive. Please do what you can to control invasive species when you landscape, farm, hunt, fish, camp or explore nature. Invasive species and their seeds can travel on tires, clothes, in bait buckets and firewood.
Endangered Species
All living things are part of a complex, delicately balanced network of ecosystems. Species are going extinct at an alarming rate worldwide, forever weakening the fabric of natural communities and ecosystems. These dramatic declines in species are due primarily to the intensive human use – and abuse – of their habitats.
