Distribution

This species is endemic to Mount Magazine in Arkansas, the United States. Its natural habitat is rocky areas. [1] [2]

Conservation efforts

The Magazine Mountain shagreen was listed as threatened on April 17, 1989. [2] Thanks to efforts from the U.S. Forest Service, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism, the snail was removed from the endangered list in May 2013. [3] The shagreen is the first invertebrate ever removed from the federal endangered species list. [4] [5]

The Santa Cruz cypress is a species of North American tree within the cypress family. The species is endemic to the Santa Cruz Mountains within the Santa Cruz and San Mateo counties of west-central California. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed the species on the Endangered Species Act in 1987 due to increasing threats from habitat loss and disruption of natural forest fire regimes. In 2016, the conservation status of the Santa Cruz cypress changed to Threatened. The cited reasoning was a decrease in threats against their habitat.

The Kanab ambersnail, formerly classified as Oxyloma haydeni kanabense or Oxyloma kanabense, is a small, air-breathing land snail belonging to the family Succineidae, the ambersnails. This terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc was previously considered a critically endangered subspecies or species. In 2013, a scientific investigations report by the United States Geological Survey concluded that the Kanab ambersnail is not a genetically distinct species. In June 2021, the Fish and Wildlife Service removed the Kanab ambersnail from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service list of endangered mammals and birds and classified it with other common ambersnails within the same taxa, officially negating its status as a distinct subspecies.
