Berry Cave Salamander Placed on Federal Candidate Species List

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service placed the Berry Cave salamander on its Candidate Species List for federal protection.

As a result of a status review, called a 12-month finding, the Service finds this aquatic, cave-dwelling salamander warrants addition to the federal list of threatened and endangered species. However, for now, the Service must focus its limited funding for species at greater risk.
