gila woodpecker
Animals of all kinds are struggling to survive as our world changes. Day by day, people require even more space, food, etc., and all these demands put a squeeze on the earth's resources, including its wildlife. The biggest problem for wildlife today is that people destroy and change natural landscapes and animals lose places that they need to live in. Otherwise known as Melanerpes uropygialis, the Gila woodpecker is being threatened with extinction. There is a large environmental impact on this endangered animal.

The Gila woodpeckers all have a similar habitat. Most endangered species are not well known. These woodpeckers are chisel-billed and wood boring. They make their homes in dead tree limbs and trunks. They have black wings, which are spotted with white. Females, who do not have red caps on their head, usually lay 3-5 eggs, which hatch in April. Also, the Gila woodpecker is common in cactus woodlands in southwestern U. Most people feel it is important to save wildlife, but sometimes conservation appears to interfere with other seemingly important things. Business making large profits from an industry may not want to change their practices in order to preserve species either. Also, few healthy native woodlands remain, which force birds into less than ideal habitats. If, for example, people make a living by cutting down trees, they may feel that the protection of an endangered species puts their jobs in jeopardy.
