The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is taking a close look at Puerto Rican parrot numbers as part of a broader review of endangered or threatened species on the U.S. mainland and the island.The FWS is conducting five-year status reviews of 25 endangered and eight threatened species occurring in one or more of the 10 states in the southeast region and Puerto Rico. The public is invited to provide written information and comments concerning these species on or before May 27.
These five-year reviews will ensure listing classifications under the Endangered Species Act are accurate. In addition to reviewing the classification of these species, a five-year review presents an opportunity to track the species’ recovery progress.
