Codes

*      Special Animals that are biologically rare, very restricted in distribution, declining
       throughout their range, at a critical stage in their life cycle when residing in
       California, population may be peripheral to the major portion of a taxon's range,
       but which are threatened with extirpation within California, or the taxon may be
       associated with a habitat that is declining in California (wetlands, riparian, old
       growth forest)
SE     Listed as Endangered by the State of California

1      Category 1 Candidate for listing by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (sufficient
       biological information available to support a proposal to list taxa as Endangered or
       Threatened)
2      Category 2 Candidate for listing by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (existing
       information indicates taxa may warrant listing, but substantial biological
       information necessary to support a proposed rule is lacking)
3      Taxa that have proven to be more abundant or widespread than previously believed
       and/or those that are not subject to any identifiable threat.  If further research or
       changes in habitat conditions indicate a significant decline in any of these taxa, they
       may be reevaluated for possible inclusion in categories 1 or 2.
