Currently, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service has 1,264 species of plants and wildlife listed as Threatened or Endangered.
With NBP's mission to conserve the incredible biodiversity of North America, it is important to provide the public with a comprehensive resource for North American wildlife. This information is made available to build an awareness of the array of animal species found within our own "backyard". The subsequent links will lead you to checklists detailing the various species found throughout North America.
