NHESP is responsible for the conservation and protection of hundreds of species that are not hunted, fished, trapped, or commercially harvested in the state. The Program's highest priority is protecting the 176 species of vertebrate and invertebrate animals and 259 species of native plants that are officially listed as Endangered, Threatened or of Special Concern in Massachusetts. Endangered species conservation in Massachusetts depends on you! A major source of funding for the protection of rare and endangered species comes from voluntary donations on state income tax forms.

  • South-Central England Regional Action Plan
    Butterfly Conservation South-Central England Regional Action Plan This action plan was produced in response to the Action for Butterflies project funded by WWF, EN, SNH and CCW by Dr Andy Barker, Mike Fuller & Bill Shreeves August 2000 Registered Office of Butterfly Conservation: Manor Yard, East Lulworth, Wareham, Dorset, BH20 5QP. Registered in England No. 2206468 Registered Charity No. 254937. Executive Summary This document sets out the 'Action Plan' for butterflies, moths and their habitats in South- Central England (Dorset, Hampshire, Isle of Wight & Wiltshire), for the period 2000- 2010. It has been produced by the three Branches of Butterfly Conservation within the region, in consultation with various other governmental and non-governmental organisations. Some of the aims and objectives will undoubtedly be achieved during this period, but some of the more fundamental challenges may well take much longer, and will probably continue for several decades. The main conservation priorities identified for the region are as follows: a) Species Protection ! To arrest the decline of all butterfly and moth species in South-Central region, with special emphasis on the 15 high priority and 6 medium priority butterfly species and the 37 high priority and 96 medium priority macro-moths. ! To seek opportunities to extend breeding areas, and connectivity of breeding areas, of high and medium priority butterflies and moths. b) Surveys, Monitoring & Research ! To undertake ecological research on those species for which existing knowledge is inadequate. Aim to publish findings of research. ! To continue the high level of butterfly transect monitoring, and to develop a programme of survey work and monitoring for the high and medium priority moths.

Introduction Steudel (1854) described a Trisetum virescens from India, while Thwaites (1864) two proposed an Avena aspera from Ceylon. Hooker f. (1896) regarded these as of for nomenclatural called A. Henrard varieties what he reasons aspera. (1940) Helictotrichon thought there was just a single taxon, virescens, fortuitously so, as the material available to him L turns out that there not 'true' among in it is a single H. virescens. Bor (1960) regarded them as two distinct species. Just after Steudel Buse described in the same year an Avena junghuhnii from Java, a species curiously enough not mentioned by Steudel, although both seem to have studied the same material, or sets of it. Koorders (1911), for once followed by Backer (1922), remarked that it might be conspecific with.A. aspera, but Backer in his later Henrard the publications retained A. junghuhnii. (1940) thought that two were al- lied, but distinct.
