Abstract:

A few years ago the osprey neared extinction as eggshell thinning, caused by DDT, reduced populations. Yet once regulations banned the use of pesticides that accumulate in such organisms as fish, on which ospreys feed, populations stabilized.

Abstract:

Knowing where to go and look gives nature lovers the opportunity to view endangered species in the wild. Weymouth Woods in the Sandhills is a good place to see red-cockaded woodpeckers. Viewing eagles in the Piedmont is best in the upper reaches of Jordan Lake in Chatham County. Red wolves and loggerhead sea turtles are more elusive, but the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge is best for wolves, while Hammock's Beach State Park is good for loggerheads.

Abstract:

The red-cockaded woodpecker has been on the endangered species list since 1970. In 1999, the North Carolina Department of Transportation purchased 9,732 acres in northeastern Tyrrell County for $16.5 million to establish a preserve. Currently 18 woodpecker colonies live there. The land is heavily forested and fronts the Albemarle Sound and Little Alligator River. Over the next 7 years the department will set aside $175 million for wetlands preservation, stream restoration, and wildlife protection.

Abstract:

Four venomous snakes - diamondback, timber, and Carolina Pygmy rattlesnakes, and the coral snake - were added to the list of endangered species in 2000. The state has over 200 species on the list. Habitat loss, pollution, and building sprawl contribute to the creatures' decline.
