The establishment of two new national wildlife refuges in Tennessee and Wyoming is a large development aimed at safeguarding critical habitats for endangered and threatened species.
Two newly created national wildlife refuges in Tennessee and Wyoming will help protect habitats for threatened and endangered species such as toads, bats, shrimp and salamanders, federal officials say. The Wyoming Toad Conservation Area and the Paint Rock River National Wildlife Refuge in Tennessee are the result of 'decades-long, locally led efforts to conserve habitat for species while maintaining recreational access,' the U.S. Department of Interior said Tuesday in a news release.
Meanwhile, the Paint Rock River National Wildlife Refuge will connect land in Tennessee and Alabama that helps protect the river's watershed in the Cumberland Plateau and one of the largest tracts of hardwood trees remaining in eastern North America. The refuge in Franklin County features habitats for threatened and endangered species including gray bats, Indiana bats, Tennessee cave salamanders and Alabama cave shrimp.
