Listing Program

Through the Listing Program, the Service determines whether to designate a species as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act.

• Polar bear
• Queen Charlotte Goshawk

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.
