"Not Warranted" 12-Month Findings

If, after reviewing the best available scientific and commercial information (usually compiled in a Status Review document) and after considering ongoing conservation efforts, we determine that listing (or delisting) is not warranted, we publish a 12-month finding in the Federal Register. Below are those species or populations for which we have completed a status review and have determined that listing (or delisting) is not warranted at this time (from 2005- present).
