National Wildlife, Oct-Nov, 2002

NWF's Keep the Wild AliveTM Program recently awarded ten Species Recovery Fund grants to local conservation groups working to improve on-the-ground conditions for endangered species. Selected from 120 applications, the ten projects reflect the taxonomic and geographic diversity of endangered species. Some of the species that will benefit from the grants include Schaus swallowtail butterflies in South Florida, ocelots in Texas, salmon in Washington and endangered native plants in Hawaii.
