I've found a threatened species. What should i do?

[Karen]

I wonder if anyone out there knows what one does when they've observed a threatened species? Should it be reported? Does it get any protection? Who can I talk to about this?

[Zeno Swijtink]

What critter? How is it documented? Give some more info and I'll put it out on my environmental list SonomaWildlife.

CALL the WILDLIFE RESCUE CENTER in Santa Rosa. I did have a brochure for them but can't find it now. You can get it from information or probably find it on a search on internet.

You might also try contacting the Dept. of Fish & Game at 707-944-5500.

What kind of species is it?

You can do an internet search for conservation of that particular species for organizations, info. or advice. I might also be able to recommend a certain organization for that species.

One of the best things you can do is to try to keep all cats & dogs away from the species and its habitat, especially if it's a small animal or bird. Maybe alert neighbors/community to keeping animals indoors/supervised/on leashes. Cats & dogs can do much harm to wildlife.
