Region 3 Candidate Species
PDF version
These plants
and animals have been sufficiently studied, and the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service has decided that they should be proposed for threatened
or endangered status. The listing priority number indicates the general
order in which they will be proposed. Within each Region, the pace
at which new listing proposals are completed depends upon the funding
appropriated by Congress to the listing and classification portions
of the FWS budget. (Bold type indicates states that are within Region
3.)
