A small inct is getting a lot of attention in the United States. The rusty patched bumblebee(大黄蜂) is the first of its species to be declared endangered in the lower 48 states—meaning every state except Alaska and Hawaii. The rusty patched bumblebee is named for a rust-colored line on its back.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced this month it was adding the bee to its endangered species list. The incts are “on the brink of extinction”, according to the rvice. It said the bees were once found in 28 states. But there now are only small popul
ations remaining in 13 states. The government agency will make a plan to help the dying bees recover. The agency said that such a plan might help other incts, like butterflies.
属龙的今日运势U.S. officials think land owners can take small steps to help the rusty patched bumblebee. They say land owners can be friendlier towards bees by using native plants in their gardens. The incts directly fertilize many kinds of fruit and vegetable crops. And they fertilize grain crops ud to feed cattle and milk cows. It costs billions of dollars to duplicate the job the bees do for free. Land owners are also being urged to cut back on their u of pesticide products. The officials also suggest that gardeners leave their plants alone at the end of the summer instead of cutting them. That way, the bees will have a place to live over the winter.
The Fish and Wildlife Service says the rusty patched bumblebee was added to the endangered species list partly becau of habitat loss. Other reasons were dia, pesticides and climate change. Officials are worried that other bees will suffer, too. Another species of bees in Hawaii is also endangered.

Red squirrels(松鼠) , a kind of animal once lost from their native woodlands, have been returned to the north-west Highlands, early results of a reintroduction(重新引进) project show.
The new population has naturally incread since they were reintroduced to north-west Scotland last year. The animal had disappeared as a result of the reduction of forests, as well as illness and competition from the introduced non-native grey squirrel. However, Trees for Life—the organization behind the project—is hopeful that red squirrels will continue to add to their 138,000 number and continue their increa.
“Early results shows that this could be a real wildlife success story. The new squirrel populations are not only living in their new homes, they are also starting to spread out into new areas, with squirrels being sighted as far as 15km away,” said Becky Priestley, Trees for Life’s wildlife officer.
The first relocation began in the spring of 2016, through to this year, when the first 33 squirrels from Inverness-shire and Moray were t free at Shieldaig in Wester Ross. Another 22 were t free at the Coulin estate, next to Beinn Eighe, plus 30 at Plockton, which is partly owned by the National Trust for Scotland.

The red squirrel, found throughout Eurasia, has experienced a great population reduction in recent years. In 2007, just 25,000 could be found throughout the UK after a one-time high of 3.5 million. This is often becau of the fact that their grey cousins have a larger appetite(食欲) and eat most of the food in the forest. Reds are also more likely to be influenced by virus(病毒) than greys, dying up to 25 times quicker.茼蒿菜的作用与功效>个税的计算方法
Grey squirrels first came to England from North America in 1876 as a decorative species.
However, it was not until 1930 that the damage they did was realized, when it was almost too late for the reds.
Now, though, red squirrels appear to naturally take over their land again. During 2016, they spread beyond Shieldaig, with one sighting eight miles away beyond Loch Torridon. One was en recently near Nostie, about five miles from the relea site, and there have been sightings further.
