The Grand Canyon

While reading the article at http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/news/articles/20110222arizona-state-university-shorter-classes.html, I went to the front page of the Arizona Republic to see what other interesting stories had been reported about. I found another article which looked pretty interesting, "National Park Service attempts to undo trout damage at Grand Canyon". I was completely unaware of this problem that was occurring and has been occurring up to the point to where now they are considered endangered. The Grand Canyon is always an admired place and a spot where many tourists visit. This article interested me though because it does not talk about pleasurable facts, but about a problem and people looking for a solution at the Grand Canyon.

The problem being reported is that there were trout brought to the Grand Canyon, which are now huge predators for the native species there. The National Park Service along with volunteers, are dedicating their time to remove all of the trout from those waters, therefore letting humpback chubs, while bringing some more to the Grand Canyon, seize to be considered endangered.
