Which type of pelican is endangered?

Although it was removed from the national list of threatened species in 1987, the American white pelican is still considered endangered in Alberta. The population here is increasing (from 548 nesting pairs in 1980 to over 1,000 today) but fewer than half of the 20 known historic nesting islands are still in use. The American white pelican has faced poison from pollutants that build up in its system due to eating contaminated fish, habitat loss and over-exploitation. Also, the American white pelican is known to abandon its nest and thus its young when the parents are disturbed by human activity.
