Endangered Species Information, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Pagel of3 Species Information Threatened and Endangered Animals and Plants Before a plant or animal species can receive protection under the Endaungered Species Act, it must first be placed on the Federal list of endangered and threatened
- ildlifeand pants. Our listing program follows a stict legal process to determine whether to list a species, depending on the degree of threat it faces. An 'endangered' species is one that is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range. A "threatened" species is one that is likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future.
The Service also maintains a list of plant and animals native to the United States that are candidates or proposed for possible addition to the Federal list. All of the Service's actions, from proposals to listings to removals
(*delistingD), are announced through the rederal Register.
