The Endangered Species Act requires the creation of plans for recovering listed species. Long-term funding shortfalls have meant extensive delays in planning. This dashboard provides an overview of recovery planning status of species managed primarily by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) based on their data service, updated daily.
As the previous Director in the Center for Conservation Innovation at Defenders, Jacob led CCI’s work at the intersection of science, technology, and policy to improve conservation outcomes, especially for threatened and endangered species.
