Description
The brown pelican was removed from the federal endangered and threatened species list in November 2009, capping a century-long recovery that started with President Theodore Roosevelt. On that day, Tom Strickland, assistant Interior secretary for fish, wildlife and parks said, "In many ways, the brown pelican stands as a symbol of our nation's struggle to protect and conserve our wildlife." He also said the bird had made "a long, long steady climb back . . . from the brink of extinction."
