View EPA's 12 endangered species fact sheets. One of these Fact Sheets, for the Karner blue butterfly, is found in conjunction with Endangered Species Protection Bulletins for specific counties in Michigan and Wisconsin. Once listed, a species is afforded the full range of protections available under the ESA, including prohibitions on killing, harming, or otherwise "taking" a species.ĮPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs has 12 species-specific Fact Sheets that offer a summary of these listed species, including their status, description, range, habitat, biology and behavior. Through the Listing Program, FWS and NMFS determine whether to add a species to the Federal list of endangered and threatened wildlife and plants. NMFS manages the marine species, and the FWS manages the remainder of the listed species, the terrestrial and freshwater species.
