Preservation of Red-Cockaded Woodpecker Habitat

Protection of Red Woodpecker Habitat Since the birth of the Endangered Species Protection Act in 1973, conservation activists and private landlords have discussed whether to protect the habitats of many endangered species found in unprotected areas (Ligon et al., 1986). As the level of human development rises, physical barriers to native forest deforestation, road construction, and other wildlife have been born. These activities have greatly contributed to the fragmentation of wildlife habitats, which has a negative impact on the population structure of disaster areas and survival of native species.

Red Woodpecker: In a study in the 1960's, red woodpeckes were predicted to be extinct due to logging, deforestation and fire fighting activities. Less than 15,000 of these birds can survive only about 1%. This measure imposes restrictions on habitat damage, and since 1995, over 500,000 acres of private estate participated in the conservation program, resulting in restoration of woodpecker.

This report focuses on the technology to stabilize and increase the population of red headed woodpeckers in the Federal land currently being investigated and within the previous range. Three areas of interest in red wooly woodpecker population on the federal land interact to determine the current management method (Jackson, 1986). Wild biologists, foresters, military, testing and combining specific technologies, including habitat assessment and identification, cave repair, cave construction, combined, limited red woolpecker in the federal controlled land We manage habitat (Carter et al., 1989). Copeyon, 1990; Ertep and Lee, 1994). Analyze specific research and practices in these three areas as explanation of techniques for managing limited federal land to strengthen and stabilize the red woodpecker population.
