    Petition to List Mountain Lion As Threatened Or Endangered Species

    BEFORE THE CALIFORNIA FISH AND GAME COMMISSION A Petition to List the Southern California/Central Coast Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU) of Mountain Lions as Threatened under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA) A Mountain Lion in the Verdugo Mountains with Glendale and Los Angeles in the background. Photo: NPS Center for Biological Diversity and the Mountain Lion Foundation June 25, 2019 Notice of Petition For action pursuant to Section 670.1, Title 14, California Code of Regulations (CCR) and Division 3, Chapter 1.5, Article 2 of the California Fish and Game Code (Sections 2070 et seq.) relating to listing and delisting endangered and threatened species of plants and animals. I. SPECIES BEING PETITIONED: Species Name: Mountain Lion (Puma concolor). Southern California/Central Coast Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU) II. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Listing as Threatened or Endangered The Center for Biological Diversity and the Mountain Lion Foundation submit this petition to list mountain lions (Puma concolor) in Southern and Central California as Threatened or Endangered pursuant to the California Endangered Species Act (California Fish and Game Code §§ 2050 et seq., “CESA”). This petition demonstrates that Southern and Central California mountain lions are eligible for and warrant listing under CESA based on the factors specified in the statute and implementing regulations. Specifically, petitioners request listing as Threatened an Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU) comprised of the following recognized mountain lion subpopulations:
  • Ghosts of the Western Glades Just Northwest of Everglades National Park Lies Probably the Wildest, Least Disturbed Natural Area in All of Florida

    Ghosts of the Western Glades Just Northwest of Everglades National Park Lies Probably the Wildest, Least Disturbed Natural Area in All of Florida

    Discovering the Ghosts of the Western Glades Just Northwest of Everglades National Park lies probably the wildest, least disturbed natural area in all of Florida. Referred to as the Western Everglades (or Western Glades), it includes Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve and Big Cypress National Preserve. Environmentalists that pushed for the creation of Everglades National Park originally wanted this area included in it. But politics and lack of funds prevented this. Several decades passed before Big Cypress National Preserve was born in 1974. Preserves have slightly less restrictive rules than national parks. So how is the Big Cypress Swamp distinct from the Everglades? Even though both habitats have many similarities (sawgrass prairies & tree islands, for instance), the Big Cypress Swamp is generally 1-2 feet higher in elevation. Also, it has a mainly southwesterly flow of water, dumping into the “ten thousand islands” area on Florida’s Gulf of Mexico coast and serving as an important watershed for the River of Grass to the south. Then, of course, there are the cypress trees. Cypress Trees Not surprisingly, of course, is the fact that the Big Cypress Swamp has about 1/3 of its area covered in cypress trees. Mostly they are the small “dwarf pond cypress” trees. (“Big” refers to the large mass of land not the size of the trees.) A few locations, however, still do boast the impressive towering “bald cypress” trees but most of those were logged out between the years 1913 - 1948. Ridge & Slough Topography Topography simply means the relief (or elevation variances) of any particular area of land.

International Journal of Chemical & Material Sciences, 1(1), 14-24. https://doi.org/10.31295/ijcms.v1n1.4 Epidemiology of Rabies Ketut Santhia Adhy Putra Independent Research of Zoonotic Diseases Ex. coordinator of Virology Laboratory, BBVet Denpasar, Directorate General of Livestock and Animal Health, Ministry of Agriculture, Jakarta [email protected] / [email protected] Abstract The occurrence of an outbreak of rabies in Bali as a shock to the people and local governments are instantly becoming the world's attention because of Bali as a world tourism destination. Since the first outbreak in the southern peninsula of Bali in November 2008, rabies quickly spread across the districts/municipality, until July 2015 had spread across 54 subdistricts and 263 villages. The proportion of rabies cases in the subdistricts and villages the highest occurred in 2011 is shown 94.7% and 36.7%, respectively, but its spread dropped dramatically in 2013 only occurred in 23 subdistricts (40.4%) and 38 villages (4,2%), though rabies outbreak back by increasing the number and distribution of rabies cases significantly in 2014, spread over 94 villages even until July 2015 spread over 89 villages. Rabies attacks the various breeds of dogs with the proportion of rabies in the local dogs showed the highest (98.44%), as well as the male dog, is very significantly higher than female dogs. By age group, the proportion seen in the age group of 1 to 2 years showed the highest (39.9%). Other animals, such as cats, cows, goats, and pigs have also contracted the rabies infected dog bitesthe.

ABSTRACT Canna indica L. is a tropical herb belonging to the family Cannaceae. It has been widely used in traditional medicine for the treatment of many complains. The phytochemical analysis of Canna indica showed that it contained various phytochemicals including alkaloids, carbohydrates, proteins, flavonoids, terpenoids, cardiac glycosides, oils, steroids, tannins, saponins, anthocyanin pigments, phlobatinins and many other chemical compounds. The pharmacological studies showed that this plant exerted antibacterial, antiviral anthelmintic, molluscicidal, anti-inflammatory, analgesic immunmodulatory, antioxidant, cytotoxic, hemostatic, hepatoprotective, anti diarrheal and other effects. This review deals with highlight the chemical constituents and the pharmacological effects of Canna indica.
