Nevada Natural Heritage Program
PLANT AND ANIMAL WATCH LIST
(NOTE: This list may take up to several minutes to load! Please wait until it is finished.)
As of the date above, this Watch List includes taxa that may qualify as sensitive animals or plants in the future, or that recently have been removed from the sensitive lists. Not included on this list are extinct or extirpated taxa, which are maintained on a separate list, and which would be added to the sensitive or watch lists if they were ever re-discovered in Nevada. Watch List taxa are not actively inventoried by the Nevada Natural Heritage Program, although conservation concern remains and data are passively accumulated for possible future needs. Comments, suggestions, and supporting documentation for additions, deletions, or changes to this list are always welcome and encouraged, as is documentation of new or revised location data for any Watch List taxa.
A separate Detailed Plant List provides additional information on Northern Nevada Native Plant Society ranks; family names month(s) most frequently observed; elevation ranges historic geographic ranges by county (inside Nevada), state, and Nevada land managers; historic population trends and the average and most recent years of observation for all Sensitive and Watch-list plants.
Changes to this list occur daily as new information is received or processed. Changes from 28 October 1998 through 15 August 1999 are shown in the same color as this sentence. While we intend to update this on-line list frequently, please contact our Data Manager if you require the most current information on any Watch List taxon. Click on the ?? in each column for an explanation of that column.
