Bringing back the black-footed ferret / by Stuckey, Rachel,author.(CARDINAL)399841;
Includes bibliographical references (page 30) and index."The black-footed ferret was once listed as extinct on the prairies of North America. Its population had been devastated by a disease that also reduced its main food source--prairie dogs. This book tells the fascinating story of the black-footed ferret's rediscovery in 1981 by a dog in Wyoming. Readers will learn how the find inspired a captive breeding program that is restoring not only this prairie species to the wild, but its essential food source as well, the prairie dog."--1060LAccelerated Reader AR

Tenacious beasts : wildlife recoveries that change how we think about animals / by Preston, Christopher J.(Christopher James),1968-author.(CARDINAL)867187;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Conventional wisdom is that wild animals are being wiped out. But conventional wisdom skips some important details. Wildlife is rebounding. Not everywhere. Not every species. But a handful of wildlife populations have reached numbers unimaginable in a century. Red deer in Europe, bison in North America, humpback whales in the Atlantic. They have all seen their populations explode. They are back from the brink, numbering in the tens, or even hundreds, of thousands. Their return thrills those who have rooted for their recovery. It terrifies those who grew comfortable without them. This book tracks-and tries to understand-these dramatic rebounds. It shines a light on species returning to forests and farms, prairies and oceans, rivers and cities. It asks howthese transformations can be happening and what they have to teach"--
