>WILDLIFE SERVICE
>
>A revised Candidate Notice of Review naming 207 species that may warrant
>protection under the Endangered Species Act was published today by the
>U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The new list adds 57 species that were
>not on the list last year, most of which are Hawaiian plants.
>
>The Notice also identifies 99 domestic animal and plant species that are
>proposed for addition to the list of endangered and threatened wildlife
>and plants.
>
>The Candidate Notice of Review is published primarily to solicit new
>information on the status of candidate species and threats. Inclusion on
>the list of candidates does not guarantee that a species will be
>automatically added to the official list of threatened and endangered
>wildlife and plants. The Notice was last updated in February 1996.
>
>The Service relies on a variety of sources to determine whether a species
>warrants listing under the Act, including contributions from private,
>university, and government scientists and other citizens as well as
>local, state, and Federal land management and planning agencies.
>
>The Notice also provides an advance look at which species the Service is
>considering proposing for protection, encourages conservation, and helps
>avoid conflicts by promoting alternative planning and development
>strategies that accommodate the needs of candidate species.
>
>Candidate species are those for which the Service has sufficient
>information to propose that they be added to the list of endangered and
>threatened wildlife and plants. The Service processes listing actions
>according to its priority guidance, which grants the highest priority to
>species in the greatest need of protection. The complete Notice and list
>of candidates and proposed species are published in today's Federal Register.

>The new candidate list should be available shortly by accessing

>"Federal Register."
