Listing of Alabama Species on the Federal List for Threatened and Endangered Species or Whose Status is a Concern

For the latest information, go to the US Fish and Wildlife Service's list of endangered and threatened species in Alabama.
For a county by county listing, go to Alabama's Threatened and Endangered Species, by County.
Other nongame species may be protected by Alabama regulation.

The US Fish and Wildlife Serice is continually updating this list and, therefore, it may be incomplete and is provided strictly for informational purposes. This list does not constitute any form of Section 7 consultation. We recommend that the USFWS Daphne, Alabama, Field Office be contacted for more current, site specific information prior to project activities. To be certain of occurrence, surveys should be conducted by qualified biologists to determine if a Federally protected species occurs within a project area.
