Panel Presentation Lessons to Learn from Our Victories After spending __ million dollars and untold staff hours, three NPS units are at the center of huge success stories in resource management. The population recovery of grizzly bears in the Yellowstone ecosystem, and wolves in three States has resulted in these species being removed from Endangered Species Act protections. These successes follow on the heels of the peregrine falcon delisting and bald eagle recovery. It is appropriate now for the NPS to ask “What should we learn from these efforts, and how will that learning help us with other species?” This panel will begin with an overview of factors that lead to species listing and how those factors interplay with the NPS role in ecosystems. Panelists will briefly recap the recovery of four species. Each panelist will then discuss, for their species, the time and money spent, the general nature of the work, the role of partners and other land managers in the recovery, the public perceptions, politics, and what is needed to keep the species in a recovered status. They will also present how they would apply their learning to the looming species needing management attention – Canada lynx, prairie dogs, Mexican spotted owls, wolverine, sage grouse, black-footed ferrets, and others. The conclusion will summarize NPS policy considerations for delisted species and the potential revision of the ESA.
