The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has awarded Georgia more than $1.3 million for land acquisition efforts aimed at protecting several imperiled species.

There were only an estimated seven red wolves left in the wild when a coalition of conservation organizations decided to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The Devils Hole pupfish's natural habitat is a single water-filled hole in a cave in the Nevada desert. Its numbers at one point dwindled to just 35 animals. How does it manage to survive?

With spring well underway, the North Atlantic right whales that migrated to Georgia to give birth here over the winter have migrated back north to their feeding grounds off New England and Canada.

The spider lives in open woodland habitats, building burrows in Central Queensland's black soils. Much of its habitat has been lost to land clearing, meaning it's likely an endangered species.

The tortoises imperiled by loss of habitat should be put on the endangered species list in four southern states, environmental groups said as they prepared to sue the U.S. government over the issue.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services recently released their final recovery plan for the protection of the white fringeless orchid population in Georgia.

The ungainly yet graceful wood stork, which was on the brink of extinction in 1984, has rebounded dramatically in Florida and other Southern states, officials say.

The number of tigers in the wild has gone up dramatically since 2015 — largely because of improvements in monitoring them, but the species remains endangered.

Fishing in the Gulf of California has nearly wiped out the vaquita marina. But a new genetic analysis offers hope for the engandered porpoise: the species can make a comeback, if humans protect it.

Australia's government cited the impacts of drought, bush fires and deforestation. The koala population dropped a reported 30% from 2018 to 2021.

Researchers who detected environmental DNA, or eDNA, in two zoos say the technique could one day be used to look for endangered species in remote locations in the wild.

A new analysis by environmental group Oceana finds most vessels on the ocean violate speed restrictions aimed at protecting endangered right whales, and the Southeast has the worst compliance.

The Army has recognized the large installation near Savannah for its conservation of natural resources, including forests and endangered species.

In 1992, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service found only 21 populations of the flower (Echinacea laevigata) still existed in Georgia, the Carolinas and Virginia and listed the species as endangered.
