List of SGCN by Taxonomic Group
P A-1
Te species that scored above a threshold established by each Taxa Team for the Conservation Concern evaluation category have been designated as Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN). All SGCN are considered a priority for use of State Wildlife Grant (SWG) Program funds. Any changes to the SGCN list to add or remove species will be reviewed and approved by the USFWS as a major revision to the NCWAP. In subsequent revisions, species that are newly listed for protection under the ESA, or that are petitioned for listing and for which the USFWS issues a positive 90-day fnding, and newly described species will be prioritized for SGCN designation without need for evaluation by a Taxa Team.
