Extractions: Philotheca angustifolia (Paul G. Wilson) Paul G. Wilson subsp. angustifolia is listed as PRESUMED EXTINCT on the schedules of the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act. Two major sources were used in deciding to list the species at the introduction of the Threatened Species Conservation Act in 1995: 1. The Rare or Threatened Australian Plants (ROTAP) list The ROTAP list identifies plants that are at risk nationally. It's the result of research by botanical experts, who started developing the list in 1979. A number of plant species on ROTAP have been listed as vulnerable, endangered or presumed extinct in the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act. 2. NPWS review of plants across the state

Extractions: (Full Text) A. Issue Definition A significant portion of the tremendous increase in species extinctions in Canada and the United States since 1600 has been attributed to human activities. Habitat modification and destruction are the most pressing problems confronting those interested in protecting and restoring aquatic species now threatened with extinction. The variety of anthropogenic factors that can disturb freshwater and marine environments makes the protection of habitat vital to the preservation of rare aquatic flora and fauna. Any protection afforded a threatened or endangered species must reflect first the successful identification by biologists of significant habitat elements that such a species needs for survival and then the capabilities and willingness of lawmakers and citizens at the appropriate levels to institute adequate procedures for protection of those habitat elements. Future success of species now threatened by critically low population levels depends on the continued efforts of these groups. It is obvious that in most cases determination of threatened or endangered status for a species provides only minimal protection without the concurrent protection of those habitats that are necessary for survival. Although legislative actions have incorporated into law realizations of the uniqueness of our environment and the need to protect the biological structure of natural systems, the responsibility for habitat protection is shared among Federal, State, Provincial, and local management authorities.

Extractions: Critics of Rep. Richard Pombo's Endangered Species Act reform initiative critics such as the Center for Biological Diversity are simply wrong when they claim it would gut the Endangered Species Act, says The National Center for Public Policy Research. "Richard Pombo's bill, if unchanged, could give the ESA alarming new powers," said David Ridenour, vice president of The National Center and a long-time activist on land issues. Pombo's proposal is called "The Threatened and Endangered Species Recovery Act of 2005" and, until recently, was expected to sail quickly through the House Resources Committee. Rep. Pombo chairs the Committee. "Property rights advocates are voicing concern about a provision that would extend the ESA's reach into so-called 'invasive species' never before regulated under the law," said Ridenour. Under an Executive Order signed by President Clinton, invasive species are

Extractions: Environment and Natural Resources Policy Division January 5, 1998 Summary The question of whether the Endangered Species Act (ESA) "works" is an important part of the debate before Congress concerning both its annual appropriations and reauthorization of the Act itself. Information on the species that have been delisted or downlisted from the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants is ofien cited when judging the ESA's success or failure. This report outlines the process and reasons for delisting or downlisting, and summarizes the 27 species delisted due to extinction, recovery, or data revision, and the 22 species that have been downlisted from endangered to threatened status due to stabilized or improving populations. Table of Contents Introduction Australian saltwater crocodile Introduction Central to the debate before Congress over appropriations for or reauthorization of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) is the question of whether the Act actually works. Different standards have been used to judge the ESA a failure and a success. Opponents of the Act contend that the ESA has failed while costing taxpayers billions of dollars, citing the low number of "recovered" species removed from the list. Proponents assert that the ESA has succeeded in preserving endangered and threatened species and their habitats, citing the significant number of listed species with stable or increasing populations, or the low number of extinctions of listed species.

http://www.montereybay.com/creagrus/endangered.html

Extractions: Birdlife International's (2000) Threatened Birds of the World lists 1186 species as Endangered, Threatened, or Vulnerable. These include several (like Guam Rail Gallirallus owstoni or Socorro Dove Zenaida graysoni ) that are "extinct in the wild" but captive breeding populations exist and there is hope for eventual re-introductions into native habitat. Although a few birds are included that are almost surely extinct (e.g., Javanese Lapwing Vanellus macropterus , Imperial Woodpecker Campephilus imperialis , Ivory-billed Woodpecker C. principalis , Oahu 'Alauahio Paroreomyza maculata , Bachman's Warbler Vermivora bachmanii ) this does mean that over 10% of the birds in the world are threatened with extinction in the near future, almost all of them due to the destruction of habitat by man. Another 747 are more briefly summarized in an appendix as Near-Threatened; yet 79 more are considered "data deficient" to permit evaluation. Together this means that almost 1 out of every 5 species is slipping away from us. From a world birder's perspective, these lists bring together most of the great and fabulous birds on earth. These birds are the stuff of dreams. I thought it might be fun to do a series of web pages on those that I've been fortunate enough to encounter. As the concept for this series did not occur to me until April 2001, some of the pages linked below were written more as short "trip reports" on various adventures. Others are summarizes of occurrence (usually in California) or even identification discussions.

The terms used to classify wild species are pulled from three groups: the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the Convention for International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Each uses different terms to describe the status of species in the wild.

It uses a set of criteria to evaluate the extinction risk of thousands of species and subspecies. These criteria are relevant to all species and all regions of the world. There are nine Categories of Threat in the IUCN Red List system: Extinct, Extinct in the Wild, Critically Endangered, Endangered, Vulnerable, Near Threatened, Least Concern Data Deficient , and Not Evaluated . A species is listed as threatened if it falls in the Critically Endangered, Endangered or Vulnerable categories.

There are a number of significant changes to the List since the release of the last edition in September 2000. Over 400 new species assessments have been included, 124 of these entering one of the threatened categories: Critically Endangered (CR), Endangered (EN), or Vulnerable (VU) (see definitions ). There have also been nearly 200 re-assessments of species already listed.

ACTION: Notice of candidate taxa reclassification. SUMMARY: In this document, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) provides explanation for a change in the status of seven animal and three plant taxa that are under review for possible addition to the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants (Lists) [[Page 49192]] under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). These 10 taxa are being removed from candidate status at this time. ADDRESSES: Questions concerning this document should be submitted to the Chief, Division of Endangered Species, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 1849 C Street, NW., Mail Stop 452 ARLSQ, Washington, DC 20240.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Candidate taxa are those taxa for which the Service has on file sufficient information to support issuance of a proposed rule to list under the Act. The Service recently completed its annual review of all candidate taxa. The results of this review indicate that several taxa should be removed from candidate status. This notice provides specific explanations for the reclassification of seven animal and three plant taxa.
