Watchlist 2007










In partnership with:


The 2007 Audubon WatchList

You can view information about the natural history and conservation status of each species on the WatchList as well as the threats to each of these species. Species are grouped by family and listed taxonomically within each group. To select a species, first click on the family from the options below. The color before the species name will indicate if the species is on the red list or yellow list. A printable list of WatchList species with global populations is also available in taxonomic order within geographic region (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader v7.0 or higher). 

Note--Many U.S. species that are not on the WatchList are still experiencing significant declines in specific regions and local areas. Locally focused conservation priorities established by states and regions can effectively catalog and address these changes in populations and subspecies in addition to those identified on the WatchList.
