                     ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST
                               for
                       The Navajo Nation


                      EFFECTIVE 24 JULY 1995

GROUP 1   Those species or subspecies that no longer occur on the Navajo Nation.

GROUP 2   Any species or subspecies which is in danger of being eliminated from all or a
          significant portion of its range on the Navajo Nation.

GROUP 3   Any species or subspecies which is likely to become an endangered species, within the
          foreseeable future, throughout all or a significant portion of its range on the Navajo
          Nation.

GROUP 4   Any species or subspecies for which the Navajo Fish & Wildlife Department
          (NF&WD) does not currently have sufficient information to support their being listed
          in Group 2 or Group 3 but has reason to consider them.  The NF&WD will actively
          seek information on these species to determine if they warrant inclusion in a different
          group or removal from the list.



The NF&WD shall determine the appropriate group for listing a species or subspecies based on any
of the following factors:

     A.   The present or threatened destruction, modification, or curtailment of its habitat or
          range;

     B.   over-utilization for commercial, sporting, scientific, or educational purposes;

     C.   disease or predation;

     D.   the inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanisms; or

     E.   other natural or manmade factors affecting its continuous existence.
