Oregon [1]’s creatures great and small are an excitingly diverse group. Oregon’s low population density, abundance of wildlife refuges and nature preserves, and biomes running the gamut from rainforest to desert explain this variety. Throughout the state, numerous refuges, such as the South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve [2], the Malheur Bird/Wildlife Refuge, the Lewis and Clark National Wildlife Refuge [3], the Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge [4], the Jewell Preserve for Roosevelt Elk, the Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuge Complex [5], and the Finley Bird and Wildlife Preserve [6] provide safe havens for both feathered and furry friends.
