Native Plant Conservation Campaign News: Endangered Species Coalition releases "Top 10" Endangered Species Priorities Report with input from NPCC
December 21, 2016
The Endangered Species Coalition released on Wednesday a “Top Ten” list of imperiled species in need of strong conservation measures. The report, “
Removing the Walls to Recovery: Top 10 Species Priorities for a New Administration,” highlights some of the most significant threats to vanishing plants and wildlife, and identifies important actions the next administration could take to slow their rates of extinction.
The report includes the Joshua Tree, one of two species nominated for the Report by the Native Plant Conservation Campaign.
The Press Release for the Report, including links to the full report and other background materials, is attached.
Endangered Species Coalition member groups, including the NPCC, nominated wildlife species for the report. A committee of distinguished scientists reviewed the nominations, and decided which species should be included in the final report. The full report, along with links to photos and additional species information can be viewed and downloaded from the Endangered Species Coalition’s
website.
