Highest listed species by state

Federally listed species in current range.

Distinct federally listed threatened or endangered species whose US Fish and Wildlife Service current range includes the county. This is a range-context measure, not a survey or estimate of animals living there; a county can appear because it contains a small piece of habitat. Fish and plants are included where FWS manages them; species under NOAA Fisheries jurisdiction are not.
