ing species status occurs when
known ranges overlap Regional
boundaries.
Appendix I
Appendix I addresses the status of
each species with an approved recov-
ery plan. Each species' status is iden-
tified as Improving, Stable, Declining,
Unknown, or Extinct. "Improving"
indicates those species known to be
increasing in numbers and/or whose
threats to recovery are lessening in
the wild, as well as those species oc-
curring only in captive propagation
programs but still increasing in num-
bers (e.g., California condor, Mexican
gray wolf). "Unknown" describes
those species for which additional
survey work is needed to accurately
evaluate their status. A species status
of "Extinct" describes those species
believed to be extinct, but have yet to
be delisted (e.g., bridled white-eye,
tubercled-blossom pearly mussel). A
host of factors including, but not lim-
ited to, the introduction of exotic
species, water projects, urban devel-
opment and encroachment, research,
land acquisition, cooperative manage-
ment efforts, etc., affect a species'
status.

arr. - -
Black footed ferrets are breeding readily
in captivity. The Service anticipates rein-
troduction into the wild in the near future.

Appendix II
Appendix H outlines the status of de-
velopment and implementation of re-
covery plans for all species occurring
in the United States and/or Trust
Territories. Data for each listed
species includes: (1) whether or not
the species has an approved recovery
plan and, if not, whether one will be
prepared; (2) the stage of the recovery
plan, and (3) the percentage of the
species' recovery objective(s) that
have been met [an integer of 14 to
represent <25%, 26-50%, 51-75%,
and 76-100% of recovery objective(s)
achieved].
Appendix III
Appendix III of this report indexes all
listed species by State(s) and/or Trust
Territory of occurrence. Each State
and/or territory is listed individually
with listed species cross-referenced
with a "Species Account Number."
The Species Account Number
directly relates to the Individual
Species Recovery Report in Appendix
IV. The reader can obtain more de-
tailed information on a specific
species by looking up the Species
Account Number in Appendix IV
(presented in ascending order).
Appendix IV
Appendix IV provides individual
species recovery progress reports for
all listed species occurring in the
United States and/or Trust Territories.
An index of the species, listed alpha-
betically by common name, is at the
end of Appendix IV. A centralized
database is maintained by the
Service's Washington Office. Each
Regional Office is responsible for
submitting a Species Status Report
on each listed species for which it has
lead responsibility.
This year's report includes all species
listed as of October 1, 1990.
Recovery plan information is also
current as of October 1, 1990. Data
are outlined for species occurring in
the United States and/or Trust
Territories only. No foreign species
are reported. The date of listing for
each species is the date the rule was
published in the Federal Register. The
effective date of the rule is usually
thirty days succeeding publication in
the Federal Register.
