Consider how likely each threat category is to contribute to the extinction risk for a species over the next 10-year planning horizon and prioritize the threat as a research topic by ranking in order LOW (1- 4), MEDIUM (5 - 8) or HIGH (9-11)
HIGH Priority 9 - 11
LOW Priority 1 - 4
MEDIUM Priority 5 - 8
Level of knowledge about factors that affect a species’ population size or distribution in NC
Status of monitoring statewide population trends
Level of knowledge about the species’ population size in NC
Level of knowledge about statewide distribution
Wildlife Action Plan Species Ranking Results
Is management needed and are current levels of action sufficient to maintain viable populations?
What is the highest level of economic influence of the species in NC?
What is the invasive species threat concern for the species?
What is the non- consumptive or cultural value of the species?
Management Needs/Concerns
When does the species occur in the state?
Is this species a vector for disease or pathogens ?
