Abstract:
The St. Francis' satyr is an endangered butterfly that lives only in the artillery impact zones of Fort Bragg in Fayetteville. It was discovered in June 1983 by an off-duty soldier who happened to be an amateur insect collector. In 1995, the butterfly was listed as an endangered species. Biologists are working on a plan to rescue it.

Abstract:
White-nose syndrome has killed hundreds of thousands of bats in the eastern United States. Those that are dying are insect-eaters, and the largest bat colony in the northeast is estimated to eat two billion insects per night. Losing these night-hunters would allow more damage to crops and contribute to mosquito-borne diseases like the West Nile virus. The disease has spread down the East Coast to Smith County, Virginia, which abuts North Carolina, and is expected to cross into the state.

Abstract:
Northeastern North Carolina, specifically 1.7 acres of the Albemarle Peninsula, has the only wild red wolf mainland population in the world. Twenty-seven years ago the animal was on the brink of extinction, but now the US Fish and Wildlife Service estimates there are between 90 and 110 ten wolves on the peninsula. In this excerpt from her book, titled above, Beeland recounts a night on the peninsula howling with the wolves.
