http://www.epa.gov/region5/cleanup/foxriver/current/foxcurrent201012.pdf Who: The people who goes fishing in fox or works in the mills. What: What is going on in the fox is that the mill is dumping in polychlorinated biphenyls in it so its killing most of the fish and making them infected.

The article is about the Karner Blue Butterfly which is on the endangered species list. The article is saying that the Karner Blue Butterflies are being destroyed by timber farms, prescribed burns and right-of-way mowing. Also that the Karner lives and roams wherever it finds suitable habitat. In May of 2000 In the northern parts of america. the butterfly is becoming extinct because they depend on the wild blue lupine flower for their life cycle. The are helping the butterfly regrow in The Necedah National Wildlife Refuge in central Wisconsin which helps them benefit from its vast area of savannah and extensive lupine. They are helping the butterflies regrow in the Wildlife refuge until they are off the endangered list.
Sea lampreys are an invasive species in wi and all of the great lakes. They look like eils but they attach to fish close to their heart and suck all the juices out of the fish with there very sharp teeth, after some time the fish dies from the sea lamprey. Outagamie counties and many other counties want to re open the locks throughout WI before 2015. The counties and the DNR are also worried that might give the sea lampreys the upper hand and more room to roam and move about the great lakes. If the locks were to open it would bring lots of tourism and business to the small towns, but WI is fearful that some of our fish species might be in grave danger because of the sea lamprey. When lamprey reproduce they can have anywhere between 24,000 and 107,000 larvae per season, and can grow more than 18 inches long. Studies show that female lamprey attack more often than males and can grow a bit longer than males as well. the state of WI needs to be educated about the danger of sea lampreys before we re-open the locks thought our beautiful state.
the wisconsin state legislature has voted to protect a small patch of wetlands near lambaeu field.
Who: Wisconsin State Legislature What: A vote passed to protect a wetland near lambaeu field When: February 2nd 2011 Where: A patch of wetlands near lambaeu field Why: to protect it so it can help against floods, provide wildlife, and purify water.

Salamanders that live in this old growth forest have no home because we destroyed their home and made it into a parking lot. where the salamanders had nowhere to go and they die or got eaten This happen 2008 in the appalachian mountains when they needed a new parking lots. Within that time me have lost 14 million salamanders. This is one of the examples to show that we are going to have to stop at some point, or there won't be even more salamanders or other animal if we keep losing habitat. The Food and Agricultural Organization's (FAO) (2007) biannual report gives global data on the state of the world's forest habitats, are trying to help.
What: Company are dumping toxic chemicals into the water and that is affecting the fish, birds, and etc. Climate is also a factor in this, company polluting the air. Some animals depend on the extreme cold. Habitat loss is one of the biggest factor today, people are building over animals homes. Disease for other non-native animals coming here is also killing the wildlife.
Who: Clean Water Action Council is one of the people that care about the environment.
When: They have been helping for 28 years strong.
Why: Population is growing and need to build houses for those people that is destroying the forest.
How: They have taken big business to court to make them clean up their messes.
Who: In this article you will find that that the Canada Lynx is almost extinct.
What: it is almost extinct because we are building in the northern of wisconsin which is pushing them out. since this has been happening we have not seen a single one.
When: the last Canadian Lynx we have seen according to this graph would be in 2004.
where: Vilas county
Why: probably because there is woods and a good habitat for it.
How: people are trying to stop it by not building houses and leaving the natural habitat.
WHO:Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is building a new DNR office building in and destroying valuable wetlands in the process.
WHAT: Nearly half of Wisconsin’s wetlands present in the 1800s have been destroyed and the results are evident with increased flooding and poor water quality.
WHEN: 1800s
WHERE: WISCONSIN
WHY:After Ashley Furniture received a state permit five years ago to fill in 13.5 acres of wetlands for a factory expansion.
HOW: Love wetlands and are willing to get involved in efforts to save them. Help others understand the irreplaceable features and functions of the wetlands they seek to protect. Understand the rules and regulations that apply to wetland development projects. Exercise their right to participate in wetland regulatory decisions.
