On the second day of #Fishmas, collaboration gave to us TWO National Wildlife Refuges working together to downlist the Columbian white-tailed deer from endangered to threatened. The combined efforts between the Cowlitz Indian Tribe, states of Washington and Oregon, conservation groups, volunteers and the Service have reduced threats and secured populations of deer. The announcement took place at Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge, illuminating the essential role that Ridgefield NWR and Julia Butler Hansen Refuge for the Columbian White-Tailed Deer played in the recovery of the deer. http://bit.ly/CWTDEvent
