Listing Program
Through the Listing Program, the Service determines whether to designate
a species as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species
Act.
Once listed as threatened or endangered, species receive the full
benefit of the Endangered Species Act such as restrictions against
taking, transporting or selling listed species; protection from adverse
effects of Federal activities; and development and implementation
of recovery plans.
For more information about listing under the Endangered Species Act,
visit the FWS
National Listings web page.
