longer than one page. It will include a one-line statement regarding the
current status of the species based on information readily available to
the staff. A species' status will be categorized as: Improving
(Increasing), Stable, Declining, Unknown, or Extinct. The summary should
compare the species' current status with its condition at the previous
status review. The report should also describe the recovery actions that
have been implemented and/or completed during the previous year (including
consultations, incidental take authorizations, law enforcement activities,
