Sensitive, Threatened, And Endangered Species
of Natural Resources Natural Heritage Program (WNHP) maintains data on three categoriesof rare plants endangered, threatened, or sensitive (WNHP, 1994).
http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/plants/plantid2/rareplants.html

Extractions: Scientists estimate there are more than 3,500 different vascular plants native to Washington. This botanical diversity is the result of evolution over the millennia. Although extinction is a natural process, in modern times this process has occurred at an accelerated rate. The major current cause of extinction is the widespread elimination or disturbance of native habitats by humans. With the loss of plant diversity, we lose parts of ecosystems that might be vital to the balance of nature. The loss of such biological diversity is currently a major national and international concern. The federal Endangered Species Act requires conservation of threatened and endangered species. In Washington, the Department of Natural Resources Natural Heritage Program (WNHP) maintains data on three categories of rare plants: endangered, threatened, or sensitive (WNHP, 1994). Endangered plants are defined as those in danger of becoming extinct in Washington within the foreseeable future.

Endangered and Threatened Species Hawaiian Species Pacific Species Critical Habitat Updates The Endangered Species Program conserves endangered and threatened species and the ecosystems upon which they depend. Conserving endangered and threatened species is necessary to preserve our natural heritage for future generations and to maintain our quality of life. Conserving ecosystems benefits all users of ecosystem resources and is essential to maintaining our nation's long term economic prosperity. A species can be listed under one of two categories, endangered or threatened, depending on its status and the degree of threat it faces. Endangered Species are plants and animals that are in immediate danger of becoming extinct and need protection to survive. Threatened Species are those that are declining in numbers and might become endangered if conservation efforts are not immediately taken. As you browse through the endangered species section, you will learn that island ecosystems are very fragile and that island species depend on one another for survival. It will also become apparent that the major causes for the decline of some species are due to urban development, which takes over the limited habitat of native plants and animals, and the introduction of alien species, which compete for food and habitat and sometimes become predators of native species.
Threatened And Endangered Species Regulations In Texas

http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/nature/endang/txendang.htm

Extractions: In 1973 the Texas legislature authorized the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to establish a list of endangered animals in the state. Endangered species are those species which the Executive Director of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has named as being "threatened with statewide extinction". Threatened species are those species which the TPW Commission has determined are likely to become endangered in the future. Laws and regulations pertaining to endangered or threatened animal species are contained in Chapters 67 and 68 of the Texas Parks and Wildlife (TPW) Code and Sections 65.171 - 65.184 of Title 31 of the Texas Administrative Code (T.A.C.). In 1988 the Texas legislature authorized the Department to establish a list of threatened and endangered plant species for the state. An endangered plant is one that is "in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range". A threatened plant is one which is likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future. Laws and regulations pertaining to endangered or threatened plant species are contained in Chapter 88 of the TPW Code and Sections 69.01 - 69.14 of the T.A.C.

Extractions: format this article to print RARE AND ENDANGERED PLANTS . In the late 1960s and early 1970s, concern over the state's dwindling natural resources led to the establishment of such organizations as the Rare Plant Study Center and the Texas Organization for Endangered Species to document the rare plants of Texas. Natural area surveys, conducted by a multidisciplinary team of scientists, began in 1973 with the support of the Lyndon Baines Johnson School of Public Affairs and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. qv In 1978 Texas wild rice qv Zizania texana ) became the first Texas plant to be federally listed as endangered. Two cacti, bunched Cory cactus ( Coryphantha ramillosa ) and Lloyd's Mariposa cactus ( Neolloydia mariposensis ) were listed as threatened in 1979, and six others-Tobusch fishhook cactus ( Ancistrocactus tobuschii ), Nellie Cory cactus ( Coryphantha minima ), Sneed pincushion cactus ( Coryphantha sneedii var. sneedii ), Lloyd's hedgehog cactus ( Echinocereus lloydii ), black lace cactus ( Echinocereus reichenbachii var.

Extractions: The term native in this text refers to the approximately 20,000 plants that have been growing in the United States since before human settlement. In contrast, exotic species are those that have been introduced by people and are alien to our native ecosystems. One-fifth of native plants in the U.S. are labeled rare because they are found in very low numbers. This may be because their habitats are naturally rare due to climate or geography, but many have become rare because of pollution, development, over-collecting, and invasion by exotic species. 2. Are all rare native plants endangered? Some rare plants can persist in small numbers for many years if not overly disturbed by humans. However, such plants are obviously more vulnerable than common ones. A species is considered endangered when it is in danger of becoming extinct in the near future if not protected. Threatened is a term used to describe species that are likely to become endangered soon if not adequately protected. The terms endangered and threatened are often used to describe legal categories, whereas the term rare is used to encompass all plants of conservation concern. 3. How are rare native plants protected in the U.S.?

Extractions: Massachusetts List of Endangered, Threatened and Special Concern Species Definitions "Endangered" (E) species are native species which are in danger of extinction throughout all or part of their range, or which are in danger of extirpation from Massachusetts, as documented by biological research and inventory. "Threatened" (T) species are native species which are likely to become endangered in the forseeable future, or which are declining or rare as determined by biological research and inventory. "Special concern" (SC) species are native species which have been documented by biological research or inventory to have suffered a decline that could threaten the species if allowed to continue unchecked, or which occur in such small numbers or with such restricted distribution or specialized habitat requirements that they could easily become threatened within Massachusetts. Any native species listed as endangered or threatened by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is also included on the state list. The rules and regulations and precise definitions relative to the establishment of the Commonwealth's list of endangered, threatened, and special concern species are set forth in 321 CMR 10.00 et seq. Species in BOLD TYPE may occur in Massachusetts wetlands. 1. Introduction - The list in 321 CMR 10.60 contains the names of all species of plants and animals which have been determined to be Endangered, Threatened, or of Special Concern pursuant to M.G.L. c. 131A and 321 CMR 10.03.

Endangered Species In Everglades National Park

http://www.nps.gov/ever/eco/danger.htm

Extractions: E V E R G L A D E S N A T I O N A L P A R K The mere physical boundaries of a National Park do not guarantee a species survival. Nowhere is man's impact on other species more evident than in south Florida. Threatened, endangered and extinct are words that have become all too common in our 20th century vocabulary. The natural process of species evolution, taking hundreds and thousands of years, has accelerated rapidly since the turn of the century. Today because of man's desire for land and raw materials, his continued pollution and indiscriminate hunting many plant and wildlife species are on the brink of extinction. Drainage of wetlands, alteration of overland water flow and hunting have all contributed to species decline. The Everglades, once known for its abundant bird life, has seen its wading bird population decline drastically since the turn of the century. The Florida Panther once common throughout the state, today is on the verge of extinction. Within the four National Park areas of Everglades National Park, Biscayne National Park, Big Cypress National Preserve and Fort Jefferson National Monument there are 16 endangered and 6 threatened wildlife species. The mere physical boundaries of a National Park do not guarantee a species survival. Maintaining harmony between "20th century progress" and wilderness areas requires research, legislation and public awareness. For the last decade the South Florida Research Center, Everglades National Park, has been studying how changes occurring outside the parks influence the fragile areas within their boundaries. Research going on today may lead to a brighter future for many species.
