Candidate Conservation Agreements and Candidate Conservation Agreements with Assurances
Candidate Conservation Agreements and Candidate Conservation Agreements with Assurances can be two of the most effective tools available to address threats to at-risk and candidate species. Since the 1990s, they have been used to help conserve two cave beetle species in Kentucky, and the robust redhorse fish in the rivers of Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina.
With the Southeast Region grappling with the possible listing of 435 species under the Endangered Species Act in years to come, we have an opportunity to better utilize conservation agreements to conserve as many species as possible.
