   One hundred   years
ago, President Theodore
Roosevelt took a small step
that launched the modern
conservation movement.
By executive order, he
protected Pelican Island,
Florida, as a bird sanctuary
to protect its dwindling bird
life from the onslaught of
plume hunters during what
is now known as the Feather
Wars. From that modest
beginning, the National
Wildlife Refuge System has
grown to almost 95 million
acres with refuges across
all of the United States.
Larger than the National
Park System but not as well
known, the Refuge System
plays a vital role in conserv-
ing our Nation's biological
diversity. In this edition of
the Bulletin, we look at afew
examples of how refuges
help to protect and recover
endangered species.
