| No Status |
Certain populations of this taxon do not have designated status (check with state or regional USFWS office for details about which populations have designated status). |

Candidate
(Notice of
Review: 2012)
(http://www.fws.gov/endangered/what-we-do/cnor.html) |
| C |
Candidate.
Species for which the USFWS has on file sufficient
information on biological vulnerability
and threats to support proposals to
list as Endangered or Threatened under
ESA. Proposed rules for these species is precluded at present by other higher priority listing actions. |
| C* |
The Service identifies species for which they made a continued warranted-but-precluded finding on a resubmitted petition by the code “C*” in the category column. This code was put into use starting in 2008. |
| SC |
Species of Concern.
The terms "Species of Concern"
or "Species at Risk" should
be considered as terms-of-art that describe
the entire realm of taxa whose conservation
status may be of concern to the US Fish
and Wildlife Service, but neither term
has official status (currently includes all former
C2 and delisted species). |
| |
| Critical
Habitat (check
with state or regional USFWS office
for location details) |
| Y |
Yes:
Critical Habitat has been designated. |
| P |
Proposed: Critical
Habitat has been proposed. |
| [\N
No Status: Certain populations of this
taxon do not have designated status
(check with state or regional USFWS
office for details about which populations
have designated status)]. |
| |
|
| DPS |
Distinct
Population Segment: a portion of a species'
or subspecies' population or range.
The DPS is generally described geographically. A DPS can apply to a Candidate or Listed or Proposed Species. |
| 10(j) |
10(j) Recovery Area: under section 10(j), a population of a listed species reestablished outside its current range, but within its probably historic range may be designated as "experimental" at the discretion of the Secretary of the Interior. The 10(j) recovery area is the geographic boundary established under Final Rule and may be larger than the actual occupied area or "primary recovery zone." |
| 10(a)(1)(A) |
An experimental population currently managed under a 10(a)(1)(A) permit from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. A 10(a)(1)(A) permit can be issued under the authority of section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species Act "for scientific purposes or to enhance the propagation or survival of the affected species including, but not limited to, acts necessary for the establishment and maintenance of experimental populations." The 10(a)(1)(A) recovery area is a geographic boundary and may be larger than the actual occupied area. |

NESL
Navajo Endangered Species List (2008)
Navajo
Nation, Navajo Fish and Wildlife Department
|
| |
| The
Navajo Endangered Species List contains
taxa with status from the entire Navajo
Nation which includes parts of Arizona,
Utah, and New Mexico. In this notebook
we provide NESL status for only those
taxa whose distribution includes part
or all of the Arizona portion of the
Navajo Nation. |
| |
| Groups |
| 1 |
Those
species or subspecies that no longer
occur on the Navajo Nation. |
| 2 |
Any
species or subspecies which is in danger
of being eliminated from all or a significant
portion of its range on the Navajo
Nation. |
| 3 |
Any species or subspecies
which is likely to become an endangered
species, within the foreseeable future,
throughout all or a significant portion
of its range on the Navajo Nation. |
| 4 |
Any
species or subspecies for which the
Navajo Fish and Wildlife Department
(NF&WD) does not currently have
sufficient information to support their
being listed in Group 2 or Group 3
but has reason to consider them. The
NF&WD will actively seek information
on these species to determine if they
warrant inclusion in a different group
or removal from the list. |

| |
| The
Mexican Federal Endangered Species List
contains taxa with status from the entire
Mexican Republic and waters under its
jurisdiction. In this notebook we provide
MEX designations for only those taxa
occurring in Arizona and also in Mexico. |
| |
| P |
En
Peligro de Extinción (Determined
Endangered in Mexico): in danger of
extinction. |
| A |
Amenazada
(Determined Threatened in Mexico): could
become endangered if factors causing
habitat deterioration or population
decline continue. |
| Pr |
Sujeta a Protección
Especial (Determined Subject to Special
Protection in Mexico): utilization limited
due to reduced populations, restricted
distribution, or to favor recovery and
conservation of the taxon or associated
taxa. |
| E |
Probablemente
extinta en el medio silvestre (Probably
extinct in the wild of Mexico): Anative
species whose individuals in the wild
have disappeared, based on pertinent
documentation and studies that prove
it. The only existing individuals of
the species are in captivity or outside
the Mexican territory. |
| [ |=
One or more subspecies of this species
has status in Mexico, but the HDMS does
not track it at the subspecies level
(most of these subspecies are endemic
to Mexico). Please consult the NORMA

Each species in the SGCN list was scored for each of the following vulnerability criteria. If a species ranked as “vulnerable” (i.e., score = “1”) under one or more of the vulnerability criteria it was included in the SGCN. Ranks were not additive. The rank was based on the following criteria:
Extirpated from Arizona, Federal or State status, Declining status, Disjunct status, Demographic status, Concentration status, Fragmentation status, Distribution status |
| |
Tiers |
| 1A |
Scored “1” for Vulnerability in at least one of the eight categories and matches at least one of the following:
Federally listed as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA); Candidate species under ESA; Is specifically covered under a signed conservation agreement (CCA) or a signed conservation agreement with assurances (CCAA); Recently removed from ESA and currently requires post-delisting monitoring; Closed season species (i.e., no take permitted) as identified in Arizona Game and Fish Commission Orders 40, 41, 42 or 43. |
| 1B |
Scored “1” for Vulnerability in at least one of the eight categories, but match none of the above criteria. |
| 1C |
Unknown status species. Scored “0” for Vulnerability in one of the eight categories, meaning there are no data with which to address one or more categories, and vulnerability status cannot be assessed. These species are those for which we are unable to assess status, and thus represent priority research and information needs. As more information becomes available, their tier status will be re-evaluated |
