1A listing has an E or a T in the "status" column of the tables in 50 CFR 17.11(h) or 50 CFR 17.12(h) (the "List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants").

15 animal species (10 in the U.S.3 and 5 Foreign) are counted more than once in the above table, primarily because these animals have distinct population segments (each with its own individual listing status).

The U.S. species counted more than once are:

The foreign species counted more than once are:

2 There are a total of 591 distinct active (Draft and Final) recovery plans. Some recovery plans cover more than one species, and a few species have separate plans covering different parts of their ranges. This count includes only plans generated by the USFWS (or jointly by the USFWS and NMFS), and only listed species that occur in the United States.

3 United States listings include those populations in which the United States shares jurisdiction with another nation.
