Dublin Zoo
Image by infomatique
Dublin Zoo, in Phoenix Park, Dublin, Ireland is the largest zoo in Ireland and one of Dublin's most popular attractions. Founded in 1830 it is the fourth oldest scientific zoo in the world, after Tiergarten Schönbrunn in Vienna, London Zoo, and the Jardin des Plantes in Paris. The zoo receives over 500,000 visitors per year. The zoo describes its role as conservation, study, and education. Its stated mission is to “work in partnership with zoos world-wide to make a significant contribution to the conservation of the endangered species on Earth".
Covering 12 hectares (30 acres) of Phoenix Park, it provides a habitat for more than 235 species of wild animals and tropical birds. The zoo includes: World of Cats, World of Primates, Fringes of the Arctic, African Plains, Birds, Reptiles, Plants, City Farm and Endangered Species.

Upper Sonoran Life Zone - Grand Canyon North Rim
Image by Al_HikesAZ
The National Park Service has made the Cape Royal trail handicap accessible and placed signs and markers explaining the biology of this part of the Walhalla Plateau. This trail sign describes the Upper Sonoran Life Zone. It reads: "Notice how the vegetation here differs from the ponderosa pine forest you drove through. The vegetation on Cape Royal is characteristic of a milder climate. Walk along the trail and learn the plants of this community and the important roles many played in the lives of Southwest Indians."
"The Park contains several major ecosystems. Its great biological diversity can be attributed to the presence of five of the seven life zones and three of the four desert types in North America. The five life zones represented are the Lower Sonoran, Upper Sonoran, Transition, Canadian, and Hudsonian. This is equivalent to traveling from Mexico to Canada. The Park also serves as an ecological refuge, with relatively undisturbed remnants of dwindling ecosystems (such as boreal forest and desert riparian communities). It is home to numerous rare, endemic (found only at Grand Canyon), and specially protected (threatened/endangered) plant and animal species. Over 1,500 plant, 355 bird, 89 mammalian, 47 reptile, 9 amphibian, and 17 fish species are found in the park." Info from www.nps.gov/grca/naturescience/index.htm
I spent a long weekend hiking, backpacking and camping on the North Rim and down the North Kaibab Trail.

Endangered mussels bound for the Powell River
Image by USFWS/Southeast
On September 25, 2012, the Service , Virginia Tech, Lincoln Memorial University, and several other partners released 5,000 endangered mussels into the Tennessee stretch of the Powell River.
Biologists released more than 4,000 one-year-old endangered oyster mussels and 1,000 one-year-old endangered combshell mussels across four sites on the Powell River. The animals were propagated and reared at Virginia Tech’s Freshwater Mollusk Conservation Center in Blacksburg, Virginia. The release is the largest recovery effort to date for the two endangered mussels in the Powell River.
The Powell River is one of the nation’s most diverse, with nearly 100 species of fish, and 35 species of mussels. Mussels benefit people and wildlife alike. Mussels clean rivers by filtering algae, bacteria and debris suspended in the water. Mussels are sensitive to water pollutions and are used by scientists to monitor river health. Many animals such as otter, fish, and migratory birds reply upon healthy freshwater mussel assemblages as a food source.

Canberra Zoo
Image by Paul D'Ambra - Australia
The National Zoo and Aquarium is privately owned by Canberra businessman Richard Tindale, and is maintained as a predominantly family-run business. The zoo receives no Government or Commonwealth support, and relies on entry fees from the public to continue operations. The zoo also relies on a large number of volunteer recruits to aid in the management of its grounds and the animals residing there.
The Zoo is the only combined zoo and aquarium in Australia. The zoo has both Australian endemic species and introduced species including the largest collection of big cats in Australia, including, until recently, the only tiglon in Australasia. The zoo is also involved in a number of breeding programs for endangered species.

London Zoo 11-03-2013

Boris The Polar Bear
'Boris was created by sculptor Adam Binder. He is a life-size sculpture of a male polar bear, cast entirely in bronze, weighing around 700kgs. He was on display in Sloane Square for 28 days earlier this year.
Boris was created to highlight the plight of the polar bears. Polar bears are endangered due to hunting to supply the international trade in their skins and body parts as well as habitat loss caused by climate change in their Arctic home.
In March 2013, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) are holding a meeting with politicians from around the world to ask them to support a global ban on trade in polar bear products. The UK Government will be voting to support this ban.
London Zoo is the world's oldest scientific zoo. It was opened in London on 27 April 1828 and was originally intended to be used as a collection for scientific study. It was eventually opened to the public in 1847. Today it houses a collection of 755 species of animals, with 16,802 individuals, making it one of the largest collections in the United Kingdom. The zoo is sometimes called Regent's Zoo.
It is managed under the aegis of the Zoological Society of London (established in 1826) and is situated at the northern edge of Regent's Park, on the boundary line between City of Westminster and Camden (the Regent's Canal runs through it). The Society also has a more spacious site at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire to which the larger animals such as elephants and rhinos have been moved. As well as being the first scientific zoo, ZSL London Zoo also opened the first Reptile house (1849), first public Aquarium (1853), first insect house (1881) and the first children's zoo (1938).
ZSL receives no state funding and relies on 'Fellows', 'Friends', 'Members', entrance fees and sponsorship to generate income.

SHORT-CLAWED OTTER
Image by RayMorris1
The Asian short-clawed otter is the smallest of the otter family. They live in family groups, sometimes up to twenty in number. Litter sizes vary between one and six. Their main diet includes grubs, beetles and other insects, frogs, small rodents, shellfish, and fish.
The short-clawed otter is not an endangered species.
