<br />II RECOVERY <br /> <br />A. OBJECTIVE AND CRITERIA <br /> <br />The immediate objective of this recovery plan is to maintain viable <br />populations of the Kanab ambersnail through out the current range of the <br />species. A long-termcobjective is to downlist and eventually delist the <br />species. if additional populations of Kanab ambersnail exist to the degree <br />that the inherent vulnerability of the species will be decreased to the point <br />that localized threats will not jeopardize the species. If not. the removal <br />of Kanab ambersnail from the list of endangered and threatened species may not <br />be possible in the foreseeable future. The recovery criteria are: <br /> <br />Conservation Criteria: In order to prevent the species from becoming <br />extinct. each Kanab ambersnail population and its habitat must be <br />protected from loss of individuals.and habitat degradation through <br />sections 7 and 9 of the Act. <br /> <br />Downlisting Criteria: The species may be considered for downlisting to <br /> <br />threatened when the above conservation criteria have been met and when the <br /> <br />following criteria have been attained: <br /> <br />1) Ten scporote populations have been discovered and/or established and <br /> <br /> <br />have been demonstrated to be above 11I;"imum ,oi,hlp Dopulation levels. <br /> <br />9 <br />
