For some introductory information, go here. You can find additional information about the fields in this database by accessing the key and documentation. Also, to learn more about the US Fish and Wildlife Service Endangered Species Recovery Plans, go here.

Enter text you would like to search for in any combination in the following fields. For example, to search for turtles, specify "turtle" or "Turtle" in the Common Name box and then press the Search button at the bottom of the page. This would find the common names that include the word "turtle"; and/or you could provide a genus and species name to narrow down your search. You can also enter parts of words, such as "rubri" for the species--this is the first part of the species name "rubriventris". As an example, if you specify the word "red" for a search criteria in birds for the common name field, you will get results with the letters "red" contained in the name such as "Red-cockaded woodpecker" and "Yellow-shouldered blackbird". Complete your selections from the fields below and then press search. This search will provide output that meets all of the criteria you have specified. If you have specifed too many criteria, you may not see any output that meets your request. Conversely, if you specify no criteria, the system will warn you and not provide any output.
