US Fish and Wildlife Service Endangered Species Listings

United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). As the principal federal partner responsible for administering the Endangered Species Act (ESA), we take the lead in recovering and conserving our nation__s imperiled species by fostering partnerships, employing scientific excellence, and developing a workforce of conservation leaders. As we work in partnership with others, our two major goals are to: Protect endangered and threatened species, and then pursue their recovery; and Conserve candidate species and species-at-risk so that listing under the ESA is not necessary. https://www.fws.gov/endangered/species/
