particularly in the southwestern part of
its range. (Refer to the Species Status
Assessment Report (Szymanski et al.
2016) for a full discussion of the
species’ biology and threats.) Under the
Act, the Service added the eastern
massasauga rattlesnake as a threatened
species to the Federal List of
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife on
September 30, 2016 (81 FR 67193).
Recovery Plan
Recovery Strategy
The recovery strategy for the EMR
includes addressing the threats of
habitat loss due to development,
conversion of habitat to agriculture,
changes to land cover due to succession
by invasive woody species, persecution
or poaching, effects of climate change
(flooding or drought), and emerging
diseases. Maintaining healthy
populations will require protecting
sufficient quantity of high-quality
habitat and the reduction or
management of threats where these
populations occur. To maximize use of
limited resources, we need to identify,
then focus management and protection
on, specific populations that will ensure
that the species’ breadth of adaptive
diversity is maintained. The strategy
also includes increasing public
tolerance and support for EMR
conservation by working with
landowners, partners, and the public.
Lastly, successful recovery will
necessitate an adaptive management
approach. Using an adaptive
management framework and monitoring
during recovery implementation will
allow us to evaluate how to best manage
for suitable habitat conditions, protect
against disease epidemics, and lessen
the effects of climate change to ensure
that the recovery actions are effective in
recovering the EMR.

Recovery Criteria
The ultimate recovery goal is to
remove the eastern massasauga
rattlesnake from the Federal List of
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
(delist) by ensuring the long-term
viability of the species in the wild. In
the recovery plan, we define the
following delisting criteria based on the
best available information on the
species:
1. The probability of continued
persistence over 50 years is 95 percent
within each of 3 conservation units.
2. An adequate quantity and
configuration of land is being managed
and is expected to continue to be
managed in a way that will support
EMR populations such that a probability
of persistence of 95 percent over 50

years in each of the 3 conservation units
is maintained.
3. Threats from climate change and
disease are addressed such that a
probability of persistence of 95 percent
over 50 years in each of the 3
conservation units is maintained.
The map showing the three species
conservation units is available on the
