All State and Territorial fish and wildlife agencies have established comprehensive conservation plans that, together, provide a nationwide blueprint of actions to conserve imperiled species. Most, if not all, of our candidate species are included in these plans. Working together with the states we may be able to remove threats and improve habitats and prevent them from becoming threatened of endangered.

The State Wildlife Action Plans are a through state-by-state assessment of the condition/status of wildlife and the actions needed to ensure their survival. Individual State Wildlife Action Plans can be found at www.wildlifeactionplans.org.
