Endangered species fund boosts Wisconsin recovery drives
Nine endangered species compete for support as Wisconsin DNR faces a fifth year of the endangered resources fund checkoff in 1988. Trumpeter swans peregrine falcons and pine martens enter their second year of recovery while wolves terns and shrikes expand efforts. Nicotera cites $525,000 raised last year and urges continued public backing to sustain multiple ongoing and upcoming recovery projects.
