Arkansas "Species of Greatest Conservation Need" (SGCN) - 2006
[cite:1207713

The Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy (CWCS) Species Team created a list of species of greatest conservation need for Arkansas.

Some species were chosen for inclusion on the list because they are rare, some because their populations are in decline or, in some cases, because not enough is known to determine their taxonomic, life history or conservation status

Inclusion on the list of Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) does not confer any special or regulatory status as federal listing as an endangered or threatened species does.

Florida "Species of Greatest Conservation Need" (SGCN)
[cite:1207593

As part of the federal requirements for the Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy (Strategy) to address the broad array of wildlife species in Florida, 974 Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) were identified.

The largest portion of the SGCN list is wildlife that has no dedicated funding sources. The majority of Florida’s species have conservation needs that are not funded through the Endangered Species Act or hunting and game programs. This Strategy and the funds from the State Wildlife Grants program will provide and help identify additional funds for the

Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN)

Distribution and abundance of wildlife species, including low and declining populations, are indicative of the diversity and health of the Commonwealth's natural resources. The Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) list was created by using a selection matrix that brought together lists of species identified by other groups as imperiled, or in decline. Within the SGCN list, species are classified into four tiers that were developed to identify the relative importance of conservation need for each species.

USDA PLANTS Database
[cite:1124720 ]

The PLANTS Database provides standardized information about the vascular plants, mosses, liverworts, hornworts, and lichens of the U.S. and its territories.

It includes names, plant symbols, checklists, distributional data, species abstracts, characteristics, images, crop information, automated tools, onward Web links, and references.

This information primarily promotes land conservation in the United States and its territories, but academic, educational, and general use is encouraged.

PLANTS is a collaborative effort of the USDA NRCS National Plant Data Team (NPDT), the USDA NRCS Information Technology Center (ITC), The USDA National Information Technology Center (NITC), and many other partners.
