Working Together
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration—Fisheries (also known as the National Marine Fisheries Service) are the two agencies charged with the administration and implementation of the Endangered Species Act. The goal of the Endangered Species Act is the recovery of listed species to levels where protection under the Act is no longer necessary. Our Recovery Program
Recovery plans that have been revised or finalized since 1978 are available electronically. Within the lists/links below, if you click on a specific plan name, it will open the PDF version of the recovery plan. You will need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader© program to view the PDF version. Note: If you click on a specific species' name within the lists/links, you will view the Species Profile for that species. Each species profile includes information on the status of the species such as where it is listed, special rules, critical habitat, Federal Register announcements and notices, Habitat Conservation Plans (HCP), National Wildlife Refuges, and other details that apply to the specific species.
If you would like to receive a paper copy of a recovery plan, copies of USFWS reports and recovery plans can also be obtained from our regional offices. [back to top]
Federal Register Notices All announcements of proposed and final reclassification and delisting decisions, and draft and final recovery plans, as well as certain other program information are published in the Federal Register.
