The Center for Biological Diversity today announced the release of a free iPhone application, Wild Calls, designed to increase awareness of the plight of endangered species worldwide and to spur people to take action to protect wildlife. The application, developed by Los Angeles-based Mobile Culture Lab, allows users to receive a randomly selected endangered species sound each week (or more frequently if users choose) via push notification.

Florida’s housing bust may be disheartening for developers and damaging to the state’s economy, but it’s a blessing – short-lived, most likely – for one of the world’s most endangered big cats.
The Florida panther once roamed most of southeastern America, from the Carolinas to Louisiana and all over Florida. It was hunted, and then squeezed into an increasingly shrinking range as Florida’s human population boomed. Many other native species in the state have been pushed to the brink of extinction (and a couple are considered extinct).
