MAINE PUBLIC • May 16, 2023
Endangered Species Day on May 19 calls attention to the many wildlife species in decline, often due to human threats—and also celebrates those species that are coming back due to conservation efforts. We learn about the fish, insects, birds, mammals, plants and other species that Maine scientists are most concerned about, as well as some success stories that are no longer endangered or threatened. Panelists: Nick Lund, Maine Audubon; Alex Fish, endangered species coordinator, Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife. VIP callers: Justin Schlawin, Maine Natural Areas Program; Sean Ledwin, Searun Fisheries and Habitat Bureau, Maine Department of Marine Resources.
