KEEP UP
The Modoc Sucker is a little baby fish from Northern California and Souther Oregon. For years the fish has been on the endangered species list. Just the other day it was finally announced the fish are coming off the list. The Modoc Sucker fish have rebounded and are now making a comeback. It has taken 30 years of recovery efforts to get them back to the level needed to survive and flourish. The fish was put on the list originally in 1985 due to the destructions of habitats. The reason for their successful rebound? The ability of conservation teams to work with landowners to reduce overgrazing and fence livestock out of streams. This is the second Oregon fish to be taken off the endangered species list this year.
