Current Status Notes:
NYS DEC
• Special Concern: Any native species for Nvhich a Nvelfare concern or risk of endangerment has been
documented in New York State.(New York State DEC, 2001).
• Threatened: Those designated by the DEC as likely to become endangered Nvithin the foreseeable future
throughout all or a significant portion of their range.
• Endangered: Those designated by the DEC as seriously threatened Nvith extinction.
Audubon Watch List
• Yellow: This category includes those species that are declining but at a sloNver rate than those in the red
category. These typically are species of national conservation concern.
Red: Species in this category are declining rapidly, have very small populations or limited ranges, and face
major conservation threats. These typically are species of global conservation concern.
New York Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN)
• High Priority SGCN: The status of these species is known and conservation action is urgent in the next
ten years. These species are declining and must receive timely management intervention or they are likely
to reach critical population levels in New York.
• SGCN: The status of these species is knovm and conservation action is essential. These species are
expected to experience significant declines over the next ten years and Nvill need management intervention
to secure their populations.
• Non-SGCN Species of Potential Conservation Need: The trends in abundance and distribution of these
species are poorly knovm, but there is an identified threat to the species, or the species has a high level of
intrinsic vulnerability. Further research and surveys are needed to determine their actual population status.
Although not classified as SGCN, actions for their conservation Neill be identified and they Nvill be included
in the State Wildlife Action Plan.
