APES Part 2: Post 2

 In the Houston, Texas area, the Attawater Prairie Chicken struggles to stay alive. It has been on the endangered species list for years, and due to the drought last year, the population dropped from 110 to 46. As the prairie chickens loose more and more of there wild habitats to humans, major conservation and breeding efforts have started. The Houston Zoo conducts captive breeding programs to help boost the population numbers. In addition, farmers have been asked to give up some land to become a habitat for the chickens. Despite the odds, many people remain optimistic that the fight to save the species will win in the end.
