Endangered and Threatened Species Recovery Process

The Listed Species Recovery Process starts when a species is listed. During the pre-planning phase, a recovery outline is developed. During the planning phase, a species status assessment, recovery plan, and recovery implementation strategy are developed. The implementation and monitoring phase include ongoing implementation and monitoring and five-year status reviews. A proposed delisting rule is followed by the post delisting and monitoring phase.
