MIDDLE TWP - Anne Galli, assistant director, of the Wetlands Institute, ex ; pressed optimism Satur dgy over the progresS New Jersey is making in protecting and managing it& nOngame endangered and threatened wildlife speci And according to biologist, much^of wbfft is being done is taking place right here in Cape May County including program's such as Saturdays which are creating public awareness to the problems THE N.J, DEPARTMENT of Envirortfnental Protection defines an en . dangprpd species as ‘'on^ requiring imm'edjate assistance ot- extinction wilj probably follow," and a thrvatpnpd species as “one that will become endangered if the conditions surrounding it continues to deteriorate.” Nongame refers ta the wildlife

species that-are not hunted for food or sport.. Current surveys show -New Jersey with 53^pecies in the two categoric. / Jhe BalcTEagle, with onrone nest in the entjre 'state (located in the Pine Barrens), has produced no eaglets in the past three years; the Perrigine Falcon js now extinct east of the Mississippi River. Among other troubled species are Ihb Bog Turtle, Eastern Tiger Salamander, Timber Rattler, the Cooper's Hawk, Black Skimmer and the Least Tern. MISS GALLI noted that enough progress has been made in the case of the Ospreys that they will undoubtedly be the first species removed from the state’s endangered list. • Although New Jersey passed appropriate.conscr vation legislation if! .1973

which called for state funding, the necessary monies lyave never been adequate to properly provide care for the state’s 600 species of nongame wildlife. Cons^ quently fn June of 1981, under the sponsorship of*, some 50 distinguished outdoor organizations '-r including the Audubon Socj^ ty, American Littoral Societjtipfcatiftial Wildlife Federation* and the

Wetlands Institute' — Senate Bill 1360 authorized a "tax check-off” conservation fund to fill the gap. Taxpayers receiving a New Jersey state income tax refund now have the qp J portunity to contribute, $2, $5, $10 of their refund for the protection and managemenf of these endangered and/or threatened nongame species. —Jean Timmons
