Definitions of Federal Status Codes:
E = endangered. A taxon "in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range."
T = threatened. A taxon "likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range."
C = candidate. A taxon under consideration for official listing for which there is sufficient information to support listing. (Formerly "Cl" candidate species.)
BGPA =Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. See below.
FSC=Federal Species of Concern. FSC is an informal term. It is not defined in the federal Endangered Species Act. In North Carolina, the Asheville and Raleigh Field Offices of the US Fish and Wildlife Service (Service)
define Federal Species of Concern as those species that appear to be in decline or otherwise in need of conservation and are under consideration for listing or for which there is insufficient information to support listing at
this time.Subsumed under the term "FSC" are all species petitioned by outside parties and other selected focal species identified in Service strategic plans, State Wildlife Action Plans, or Natural Heritage Program Lists.
T(S/A) = threatened due to similarity of appearance. A taxon that is threatened due to similarity of appearance with another listed species and is listed for its protection. Taxa listed as T(S/A) are not biologically
endangered or threatened and are not subject to Section 7 consultation. See below.
EXP = experimental population. A taxon listed as experimental (either essential or nonessential). Experimental, nonessential populations of endangered species (e.g., red wolf) are treated as threatened species on public
land, for consultation purposes, and as species proposed for listinq on private land.
P = proposed. Taxa proposed for official listing as endangered or threatened will be noted as "PE" or "PT", respectively.
Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGPA):
In the July 9, 2007 Federal Register( 72:37346-37372), the bald eagle was declared recovered, and removed (de -listed) from the Federal List of Threatened and Endangered wildlife. This delisting took effect August
Threatened due to similarity of aooearance(T(S/All:
In the November 4, 1997 Federal Register (55822-55825), the northern population of the bog turtle (from New York south to Maryland) was listed as T (threatened), and the southern population (from Virginia south to
Georgia) was listed as T(S/A) (threatened due to similarity of appearance). The T(S/A) designation bans the collection and interstate and international commercial trade of bog turtles from the southern population. The
T(S/A) designation has no effect on land management activities by private landowners in North Carolina, part of the southern population of the species. In addition to its official status as T(S/A), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service considers the southern population of the bog turtle as a Federal species of concern due to habitat loss.
Current - the species has been observed in the county within the last 50 years.
Historic - the species was last observed in the county more than 50 years ago.
Obscure - the date and/or location of observation is uncertain.
Incidental/migrant - the species was observed outside of its normal range or habitat.
Probable/potential - the species is considered likely to occur in this county based on the proximity of known records (in adjacent counties), the presence of potentially suitable habitat, or both.
Definition of State Codes:
CODE/ STATUS DEFINITION
Any native or once -native species of wild animal whose continued existence as a viable component of the State's fauna is determined by the Wildlife Resources Commission to be
E=Endangered in jeopardy or any species of wild animal determined to be an 'endangered species' pursuant to the Endangered Species Act. (Article 25 of Chapter 113 of the General Statutes;
1987).
T=Threatened Any native or once -native species of wild animal which is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range,
or one that is designated as a threatened species pursuant to the Endangered Species Act. (Article 25 of Chapter 113 of the General Statutes; 1987).
SC=Special Concern
Any species of wild animal native or once -native to North Carolina which is determined by the Wildlife Resources Commission to require monitoring but which may be taken under
regulations adopted under the provisions of this Article. (Article 25 of Chapter 113 of the General Statutes; 1987).
SR=Significantly Rare
Any species which has not been listed by the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission as an Endangered, Threatened, or Special Concern species, but which exists in the state (or
recently occurred in the state) in small numbers and has been determined by the N.C. Natural Heritage Proaram to need monitorina. Significantly Rare species include "peripheral"
SR-G=Game Animal
Species is a game animal or a forbearer, and therefore (by law) cannot be listed for State protection as E, T, or SC.
SC-V=Special Concern -Vulnerable
"Any species or higher taxon of plant which is likely to become a threatened species within the foreseeable future"(NCAC 02 NCAC 48F .0401).
SC-H=Special Concern -Historical
"Any species or higher taxon of plant that occurred in North Carolina at one time, but for which all known populations are currently considered to be either historical or extirpated."
"(NCAC
02 NCAC 48F .0401).
SR-L= Significantly Rare Limited
The range of the species is limited to North Carolina and adjacent states (endemic or near endemic). These are species that may have 20-50 populations in North Carolina, but
fewer than 100 populations rancewide. The preponderance of their distribution is in North Carolina and their fate depends laraely on conservation here.
SR-T=Significantly Rare Throughout
The species is rare throughout its range (fewer than 100 populations total).
SR-D=Significantly Rare Disjunct
The species is disjunct to North Carolina from a main range in a different part of the country or world.
SR-P=Significantly Rare Peripheral
The species is at the periphery of its range in North Carolina. These species are generally more common somewhere else in their ranges, occurring in North Carolina peripherally tc
their main ranges, mostly in habitats which are unusual in North Carolina.
SR-O=Significantly Rare Other
The range of the species is sporadic or cannot be described by the other Significantly Rare categories
W= Watch List
Any other species believed to be rare and of conservation concern in the state but not warranting active monitoring at this time
