North Carolina's Red Wolf: in the Spotlight and in Peril
 The
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission recently approved a
temporary rule allowing night hunting of coyotes with spotlights
throughout the state, including areas inhabited by the critically
endangered red wolf. At least two red wolves have already been killed
within the area designated for their recovery.

Panthers in Peril
 Last
month three critically endangered Florida Panthers were struck and
killed by motorists. It's a tragic blow for an animal whose adult
population numbers only about 100. Florida Panthers are a top Defenders
priority, so we're hard at work on the ground in Florida to establish
safe wildlife crossings, lower speed limits in panther habitats and
establish less fragmented habitats for these sleek and beautiful cats.

Feds move to protect sea turtle in Gulf of Mexico and Southeast Atlantic Ocean
 Defenders'
legal team has won a major battle for sea turtles by forcing closure of
a loophole that was killing 30,000 endangered turtles each year. New
rules will require shrimpers in the shallow waters of the Gulf and
coastal Southeast Atlantic to use “Turtle Excluder Devices” (TEDs). TEDs
prevent turtles, sharks and other large animals from being swept into
trawling nets, where they inevitably drown.
