"The lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas is a haven for wildlife. This sliver of arid land, which once included riparian woodlands, sabal palm forests and oxbow lakes, harbors a multitude of plants and animals found nowhere else in the United States. Among the rarest inhabitants of this subtropical landscape is the ocelot. " (flickr image)
Is it just me or is this just getting out of control! as mentioned this valley is a haven for wildlife, and without wildlife, we have no life period. It is as simple as the food chain, one thing dies out and then the next. To some of you who are reading this you might be saying to yourself its just one valley, but in actuality it is just one of many valleys soon to fall victom to what i have been blogging about "Global Warming".
"By protecting habitat for endangered species, we can also keep today's vulnerable species from becoming tomorrow's endangered species," says Wilcove. In South Texas, for example, restoring thorn forests to protect the ocelot could also help the ferruginous pygmy owl, the Audubon's oriole and other scarce but not yet endangered plants and animals."

Again this is another problem we are facing from the climate changes that are currently affecting our world a.k.a global warming. If you would like to learn more on this from another blogers perspective please take a look. (global warming blogger)
