I'm in trouble...


Over the past century, my population has declined by a staggering 99 percent! I was added to the endangered species list by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife services in 1992.
The main reason for the decline of my species is due to lack of wildfires and grazing of large mammals. You see, wildfires actually help my environments. Wildfires burn trees and shrubs, allowing sunlight to come through and create new grassy areas, where the wild blue lupine flower can grow and sustain my little ones.
Another reason is the clearing of land for the development of commercial, residential and farming purposes. You see, sometimes the needs of your habitat interfere with the needs of my habitat.
