Endangered Species Act Recovery Plans

Section 4 of the Endangered Species Act requires us to publish a recovery plan for each species we list as threatened or endangered. Such plans must contain:

• Objective measurable criteria, which when met, would result in the determination that the species be removed from the ESA list
• A description of site specific management actions necessary for recovery
• Estimates of time and cost to carry out the recommended recovery measures.

The goal of an ESA recovery plan is conservation and survival of the listed species.
