Pelican Removed From Endangered List
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: November 12, 2009
Summary:Interior Department officials are taking the brown pelican off the endangered species list, after a nearly four-decade struggle to keep the bird’s population afloat. The bird now prevalent across Florida, the Gulf and Pacific coasts and the Caribbean was declared an endangered species in 1970, after its population, much like those of the bald eagle and peregrine falcon, was decimated by the use of the pesticide D.D.T.
Response:For once a positive article saying that something is going good. It is good to hear that this animal has survived and is now off the Endangered list.
