I found this article interesting because it discusses a few species that because of conservation, they were able to make a come back in 2011. The article states that, "The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (Service) Southeast Region had a number of reasons to celebrate this past year. Significant progress has been made in conserving and restoring some of the region’s rarest species, including the Tennessee purple coneflower (Echinacea tennessensis) , the Okaloosa darter (Etheostoma okaloosae) , the Tulotoma snail (Tulotoma magnifica) , and the Alabama lampmussel (Lampsilis virescens) ." If you're interested in reading up on some of these species, this article gives a slight over view of each and talks about what some of the organizations did to help. They are predicting that if efforts towards restoration and conservation are as good as they were in 2011, then 2012 is sure to be a great recovery year as well!
