Everglades: Threatened and Endangered Species Threatened wildlife includes species, subspecies, or isolated populations that are likely to become endangered in the near future unless steps are taken to protect and manage the species and/or its habitat for its survival. Threatened and endangered plantlife of the hardwood hammocks and rocky pinelands include the brittle thatch palm (Thrinax morrissii), buccaneer palm (Pseudophoenix sargentii), Florida thatch palm (Thrinax parvitolia), Krug's holly (Ilex krugiana), lignum-vitae (Guaiacum sanctum), manchineel (Hippomane mancinella), silver thatch palm (Coccothrinax argentata), and tree cactus (Cereus robinii). Threatened and endangered birds include the Everglades snail kite (Rostrhamus sociabilis), wood stork (Mycteria americana), Cape Sable seaside sparrow (Ammodramus maritimus mirabilis), red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), piping plover (Charadrius melodus), bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), and roseate tern (Sterna dougallii). www.flmnh.ufl.edu /fish/southflorida/everglades/endangeredglades.html   (530 words)

Department of State Washington File: Text: World Conservation Union Release on Threatened Species Survey A total of 11,046 species of plants and animals are threatened, facing a high risk of extinction in the near future, in almost all cases as a result of human activities. The total number of globally threatened plant species is still small in relation to the total number of plant species, but this is because most plant species have still not been assessed for their level of threat. Figures show that 338 threatened bird species (28 percent of all) 212 mammals (29 percent of all), and 169 plants (7 percent of all) are impacted by hunting and collecting. usinfo.org /wf-archive/2000/000929/epf508.htm   (3523 words)

Threatened Species Fact Sheets Threatened is a general term which covers a range of categories of species including presumed extinct, endangered (in danger of extinction, survival unlikely if threats to existence continue) and vulnerable (likely to move into the endangered category in the near future if threats continue). At the same time, we have lost at least 60 species since European settlement, and the survival of 500–600 vascular plant species and at least 250 animal species is threatened. Under this Act species, ecological communities and potentially threatening processes, are listed on Schedules by the Governor in Council after a process of nomination, assessment and recommendation by an independent Scientific Advisory Committee. www.dpi.vic.gov.au /dse/nrenpa.nsf/FID/-39757F7DC0240D404A256808007D8493?OpenDocument   (270 words)

Protecting Threatened and Endangered Species However, if a particular species is federally listed as threatened or endangered (or otherwise protected at the federal level), any protections provided by the state must be at least as restrictive as those provided at the federal level. A "threatened" species is one that is likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future. The survival of wildlife is jeopardized by the loss of habitat, over-hunting or over-fishing, the introduction of diseases or parasites, attempts to eradicate "pest" species, and the capture of wild animals and fish for the pet trade, research, entertainment, or other industries. www.hsus.org /wildlife/issues_facing_wildlife/protecting_threatened_and_endangered_species.html   (558 words)

IA DNR: Threatened and Endangered Species Threatened Species means any species which is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range. Violations of the provisions of Chapter 481B for threatened or endangered species are misdemeanors punishable by a fine of up to $100. Not protected by the Iowa Threatened and Endangered Species law, but many animal species listed as Special Concern are protected under other state and federal laws addressing hunting, fishing, collecting, and harvesting. www.iowadnr.com /other/threatened.html   (568 words)

eMedicine - Threatened Abortion : Article by Avi J Sklar, MD, FACOG, FACS, FRCSC Threatened abortion is defined by the absence of passing/passed tissue and the presence of a closed cervical os. In the majority of instances of threatened abortions that ultimately result in complete abortion, the embryo is already dead; thus, the administration of progesterone drugs is ineffective and only prolongs the natural course of abortion. Background: Threatened abortion is a clinically descriptive term that applies to women who are at less than 20 weeks' gestation, have vaginal spotting or bleeding, a closed cervical os, and, possibly, mild uterine cramping. www.emedicine.com /MED/topic3308.htm   (3435 words)

Plant Survey Reveals Many Species Threatened With Extinction With 4,669 species judged to be threatened to one degree or another, the United States ranked first, by far, among the nations of the world in total number of plants at risk. Here are the countries with the largest number of threatened species, along with the percentage of the nationís plants that are in jeopardy. By WILLIAM K. At least one of every eight plant species in the world -- and nearly one of three in the United States -- is under threat of extinction, according to the first comprehensive worldwide assessment of plant endangerment. www.well.com /user/davidu/plantextinction.html   (906 words)

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission - Nongame Wildlife - List Nesting colonies of the endangered least tern and threatened piping plover are documented and monitored to determine reproductive success and to delineate essential nesting habitat.

Threatened Fauna Adviser An important outcome of the development of Threatened Fauna Adviser is that the zoologists have had the opportunity to think through all the possible scenarios and write appropriate recommendations, rather than having to produce case by case recommendations for each application to harvest timber. The presence of a threatened species need not prevent a forest operation, but it does affect the way in which the operation should best be conducted. Knowledge of the threatened fauna and the recommendations needed for forest operations was already known by the Senior Zoologist, and other specialists working in Tasmania. www.attar.com /pages/case_tz2.htm   (918 words)

50-17-11.html In 1978 (43 FR 6230-6233) the species Haliaeetus leucocephalus (bald eagle) was listed as Threatened in "USA (WA, OR, MN, WI, MI)" rather than its entire population; thus, all individuals of the bald eagle found in those five States are considered listed as Threatened for the purposes of the Act. It also contains the names of species of wildlife treated as Endangered or Threatened because they are sufficiently similar in appearance to Endangered or Threatened species (see 17.50 et seq.). (c) In the "Status" column the following symbols are used: "E" for Endangered, "T" for Threatened, and "E [or T] (S/A)" for similarity of appearance species. www.wildlaw.org /Eco-Laws/50-17-11.html   (755 words)

Florida Forestry Information - Threatened and Endangered Species Species judged as threatened or endangered are listed by state, federal, and international agencies as well as by some private organizations. Drainage schemes, reservoir construction, industrial and agricultural development, deforestation, and commercial and residential development are too often the basis for the threatened or endangered status of plants and animals. The protection of endangered, threatened, or "commercially exploited" plants is addressed in the Preservation of Native Flora of Florida Act. www.sfrc.ufl.edu /Extension/ffws/tes.htm   (1329 words)

Henderson County Endangered Species, Threatened Species, and Federal Species of Concern T(S/A) Threatened due to similarity of appearance (e.g., American alligator)--a species that is threatened due to similarity of appearance with other rare species and is listed for its protection. In the November 4, 1997, Federal Register (55822-55825), the northern population of the bog turtle (from New York south to Maryland) was listed as T (threatened), and the southern population (from Virginia south to Georgia) was listed as T(S/A) (threatened due to similarity of appearance). Experimental, nonessential endangered species (e.g., red wolf) are treated as threatened on public land, for consultation purposes, and as species proposed for listing on private land. nc-es.fws.gov /es/cntylist/henderson.html   (365 words)

PI-Endangered Species Index Threatened species are those that are declining in numbers and might become endangered if conservation efforts are not immediately taken. Conserving endangered and threatened species is necessary to preserve our natural heritage for future generations and to maintain our quality of life. It will also become apparent that the major causes for the decline of some species are due to urban development, which takes over the limited habitat of native plants and animals, and the introduction of alien species, which compete for food and habitat and sometimes become predators of native species. pacificislands.fws.gov /wesa/endspindex.html   (1032 words)

CT DEP: Endangered, Threatened & Special Concern Species In 1989, the Connecticut Legislature passed Public Act 89-224 "An Act Establishing a Program for the Protection of Endangered and Threatened Species." The overall goal of the legislation is to conserve, protect, restore and enhance any endangered or threatened species and their essential habitat. As part of the Endangered/Threatened species program, the Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Protection can conduct studies of wildlife and plants to better understand their distribution, population, habitat needs and limiting factors which determine conservation and management measures.

Massachusetts List of Endangered "Threatened" (T) species are native species which are likely to become endangered in the forseeable future, or which are declining or rare as determined by biological research and inventory. The rules and regulations and precise definitions relative to the establishment of the Commonwealth's list of endangered, threatened, and special concern species are set forth in 321 CMR 10.00 et seq. Any native species listed as endangered or threatened by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is also included on the state list. www.state.ma.us /dfwele/dfw/nhesp/nhrare.htm   (636 words)

Critters Threatened & Endangered Species Alligators remain on the threatened list because they are similar in appearance to the listed American crocodile and other crocodilians subject to import. Arkansas alligators are still fully protected as a threatened species, but populations are growing thanks to increased protection and a restoration program conducted by the Game and Fish Commission. Alligators were quickly eradicated at the fringes of their range, but in their Deep South heartland, they hung on by the millions until after World War I. Alligators weren't threatened until the fashion industry decided their skins were chic. www.agfc.com /critters/endangered_species.html   (1352 words)

Canada Lynx Listed As Threatened: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service A species is listed as threatened when it is likely to become endangered throughout all or a significant portion of its range in the foreseeable future. The decision was challenged by several environmental organizations, and a subsequent settlement agreement led to the Service proposing the lynx as threatened in 1998. The Service concluded that lynx should be listed as one unit in the contiguous United States because, individually, none of the four geographical regions fulfill the Act’s criteria required for a Distinct Population Segment that could be listed independently of the others. www.r6.fws.gov /pressrel/00-08.htm   (1084 words)

Threatened mammals in Norway: fact sheets and proposed Red List This includes all Norwegian species that are globally threatened, species which have at least 25% of their European populations in Norway (Europe defined as reaching east to the Ural Mountains, Novaya Zemlya and Franz Josef Land, with associated waters, as well as East-Greenland with off-shore waters), and endemic species. The difference in the number of species listed as threatened is mainly due to the expanded geographic perspective, in particular the inclusion of marine species. The report is commissioned by the Norwegian Directorate for Nature Management, and is intended as a background document for further considerations for a revised official Red List. www.zoologi.no /english/rlsumm_e.htm   (759 words)

Threatened Species For a summary of the nationally listed threatened species for which there are currently management, monitoring or research actions occuring in South Australia see the Threatened Species page on the Environment Reporting website.

Federal Government Lists Northern California Coho As Threatened, Dan Bacher, Fish Sniffer Online The fisheries service decided to not list the coho of Oregon's central and north coast, the "Oregon Coast ESU," as "threatened," relying instead upon an agreement that it reached with the state of Oregon to protect these fish. Some groups felt that the service should have also granted the higher status of "endangered'- as opposed to the less restrictive designation of "threatened" - to indicate the seriousness of the decline in the once abundant fish. Coho, unlike the chinook salmon that leave the river as smolts after six months, stay in the stream for one year and need the cold water sustained by a healthy forest canopy for survival through the summer. www.fishsniffer.com /dbachere/061698cohothreatened.html   (856 words)

Endangered, threatened & special concern species: Minnesota DNR Species on the periphery of their range that are not listed as threatened may be included in this category along with those species that were once threatened or endangered but now have increasing or protected, stable populations. A species is considered threatened if the species is likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range within Minnesota. A species is considered a species of special concern if, although the species is not endangered or threatened, it is extremely uncommon in Minnesota, or has unique or highly specific habitat requirements and deserves careful monitoring of its status. www.dnr.state.mn.us /ets/index.html   (473 words)
