pelecanus occidentalis

11-11-2009 off endangered species list. After it was pushed to the edge of extinction almost 40 years ago.

The use of DDT and discriminatory hunt put the specie on the verge of extinction then.

Must monitor the pelican and its environment to ensure that will never see this specie pushed again to the edge of extinction.

Now... 2010... habitat revisited. Gulf of Mexico, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands must keep an eye on the health and numbers of brown pelicans the bird could be relisted if numbers plunge again.
