Abstract:
North Carolina is home to a number of pitcher plant species. The purple pitcher plant, the yellow pitcher plant, the red pitcher plant, the hooded pitcher plant, the mountain sweet pitcher plant, and the green pitcher plant all call North Carolina home. The plants are fragile as their habitat has been largely destroyed. The future of the species, the insects and animals who live and depend on the plants, and stories about the plants are described.

Abstract:
The green salamander is North Carolina’s only endangered amphibian, and occurs in small populations in a few of the state’s southwestern mountain counties. In the past twelve years, most green salamander discoveries can be credited to Alan Cameron, a retiree and volunteer for Wildlife Diversity. Cameron has discovered new salamander sites, observed unreported behaviors and rare pigmentation patterns.

Abstract:
In North Carolina, it has become difficult to protect species that are disappearing from the state. Protection plans can include listing the species as endangered or otherwise, purchasing or creating easements for habitat lands, and collecting species for museums and conservancies. Examples of many different species and their rehabilitation plans outline how strategies must sometimes be diverse.

Abstract:
North Carolina is home to over 29 species of sucker fish, and they exist in every river system in the state. They play an important role in the ecology of the river basins and are indicators of water quality, as they cannot survive in polluted areas. With some species in decline, it is important to ensure their survival.
