ENDANGERED AND THREATENED SPECIES LIST

The Board revises the list of protected species every five years and completed its most recent revisions in 2004. The following list reflects those revisions:

DEFINITIONS
** Federally Endangered Species: Any species which is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range.

* Federally Threatened Species: Any species which is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range.

Illinois Endangered Species: Any species which is in danger of extinction as a breeding species in Illinois.

State Threatened Species: Any breeding species which is likely to become a state endangered species within the foreseeable future in Illinois.

CRITERIA FOR STATE LISTING
A species shall be included on the official list of endangered and threatened species when one or more of the following criteria exists: 1 Species included in the Federal list of Endangered or Threatened Species, 2 Species proposed for Federal Endangered or Threatened Species which occur in Illinois, 3 Species which formerly were widespread in Illinois but have been nearly extirpated from the State due to habitat destruction, collecting, or other pressures resulting from the development of Illinois, 4 Species which exhibit very restricted geographic ranges of which Illinois is a part, 5 Species which exhibit restricted habitats or low populations in Illinois, or 6 Species which are significant disjuncts in Illinois i.e., the Illinois population is far removed from the rest of the species' range.
