Why do we conduct 5-year reviews?
Under the ESA, we maintain Lists of
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
and Plants (which we collectively refer
to as the List) in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 17.11 (for
animals) and 17.12 (for plants). Section
4(c)(2)(A) of the ESA requires us to
review each listed species’ status at least
once every 5 years. Further, our
regulations at 50 CFR 424.21 require
that we publish a notice in the Federal
Register announcing those species
under active review. For additional

What information do we consider in
our review?
In conducting these reviews, we
consider the best scientific and

including but not limited to population
trends, distribution, abundance,
demographics, and genetics;
2. Habitat conditions, including but
not limited to amount, distribution, and
suitability;
3. Conservation measures that have
been implemented that benefit the
species;
4. Threat status and trends in relation
to the five listing factors (as defined in

contained in the List, and improved
analytical methods.
Any new information will be
considered during the 5-year review and
will also be useful in evaluating the
ongoing recovery programs for the
species.
