Conservation Success Story - a photo on Flickriver

            Red-cockaded Woodpecker (Dryobates borealis)

Francis Marion National Forest, South Carolina, U.S.A.

A Red-cockaded Woodpecker clings to a longleaf pine, momentarily pausing from his relentless drilling.

The Endangered Species Act (ESA) has played a crucial role in the survival of the Red-cockaded Woodpecker in the Southeastern United States. Since its listing as an endangered species in 1973, federal protection has facilitated active conservation efforts, including habitat restoration and management on federal lands such as national forests and military installations. I've seen firsthand the positive impact of this protection on numerous Army installations across the American Southeast. As a result of these efforts, this species has been downlisted from "endangered" to "threatened," marking a major milestone in its recovery.
