This is primarily a forest-dwelling species, but the northern and southern breeding populations select different habitats.
This plan helps to protect the species throughout its range and its breeding populations expand to other sites that had been lost in the past.
Two confirmed sightings of lone wolves have been made in the Yellowstone region, but no breeding populations are known to live there.
So far, red-ears have yet to establish breeding populations in the northeast United States.
The principal purpose of this reservation was to protect the large breeding populations of seabirds.
It has also been introduced to Florida, with small but stable breeding populations.
These birds have resulted in viable breeding populations being held in many countries.
"I'm just trying to locate the viable breeding populations."
This service ensures that healthy breeding populations of species are maintained throughout the country.
Reintroduction of the species in additional areas has taken place since 1988, with many new breeding populations now well established.
