Threatened and Endangered Species
A number of once common native plant and animal species on the Colorado Plateau have become increasingly rare, and some, particularly native freshwater fishes, have become extinct. Habitat destruction, degradation, and fragmentation, sometimes in combination with hunting and poisoning, has led to significant decreases in the overall populations of a number of species. The federal government has classified a few of these as endangered, meaning that the species is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range. Others, classified as threatened, may reach endangered status if habitats continue to be degraded and populations continue to fall.
