The Endangered
and Nongame Species Program in New Jersey (ENSP) has as its mission
to actively conserve New Jersey's biological diversity by maintaining and
enhancing endangered and nongame wildlife populations within healthy, functioning
ecosystems. The program is responsible for the protection and management
of nearly 500 wildlife species found in the Garden State including the
species currently listed as endangered or threatened.
Visit their wildlife
checklists.
Their cooperation in supplying information and
allowing us to use the graphics and information on their website was invaluable
to this project. The program is a part of the Department
of Environmental Protection and the Division
of Fish and Wildlife.
We acknowledge the help of Paul Tarlowe, biologist
and division webmaster, and of Terry Colleen Terry of the ENSP for permissions
to use materials.
New Jersey Outdoors magazine regularly features articles on all of N.J.'s wildlife species and has featured several articles on endangered species. ( including one on page 5 of the Winter 2000 issue about this web site!).

black & white line drawings used are by Robert Savannah, U. S. Fish

The Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary is a great site and was also kind enough to allow us to use photos from their site on ours.
