About 5-Year Reviews
The Endangered Species Act requires us to review each listed species at least every 5 years.
We determine whether species should be removed from the list (delisted) or reclassified from endangered to threatened, or threatened to endangered.
Commenting on Reviews
When a species is under review, we will post information on how to comment on our Comment Dates page. We welcome information about the species under review.
