3 Figure 1. Listings under the US Endangered Species Act
Figure 1. Listings under the US Endangered Species Act. The pace of listings under the ESA has varied considerably over time, primarily reflecting availability of funding for listing activities and shifts in policy. As of October 2007 a total of 1333 US species and populations were listed as threatened or endangered under the act. Under the ESA, listings can apply to species, infraspecific taxa, or, for vertebrate animals, “distinct population segments.” Source: US Fish and Wildlife Service, Threatened and Endangered Species System, October 2007.

6 Figure 2. Distribution of endangered and imperiled species on federal agency lands. Lands of the DOD and USDA Forest Service harbor the greatest number of species with status under the Endangered Species Act (23%), while Forest Service lands support the largest number of NatureServe-assessed imperiled species (27%).

7 Table 3. Comparison of the percentages of ESA status species and imperiled species on federal lands, 1996 and 2007.

8 Figure 3. Density of endangered and imperiled species on federal agency lands. Calculating the density of species per 100,000 hectares highlights the disproportionate role that DOD lands play in sustaining the nation's biodiversity. Military lands have three times higher densities of ESA status and imperiled species than do lands of the NPS, the second-ranked agency for densities of both ESA and imperiled species.

9 Figure 4. Distribution of endangered and imperiled species by military service. Army lands harbor more than twice the number of ESA status and imperiled species as those of the navy, which supports the next highest number.
