Rare Animal List for New Hampshire: Including species listed as threatened and endangered under the NH Endangered Species Conservation Act of 1979
Nongame & Endangered Wildlife Program and New Hampshire Natural Heritage Bureau. 2020. Rare Animal List for New Hampshire: Including species listed as threatened and endangered under the NH Endangered Species Conservation Act of 1979. New Hampshire Fish & Game Department
The Nongame & Endangered Wildlife Program of the NH Fish & Game Department coordinates protection efforts for the state's wildlife that are not hunted, fished, or trapped. The Nongame Program works closely with the NH Natural Heritage Bureau to maintain a database of rare and imperiled wildlife populations throughout the state. Locational information about rare animals in the Natural Heritage Bureau database compliments a habitat-based database for all of New Hampshire's wildlife that is managed by the NH Fish & Game Department. The following list is our current assessment of the status of the state's rarest and most imperiled animal species. The Nongame Program has developed the list in cooperation with researchers, conservation organizations such as the Audubon Society of New Hampshire, knowledgeable amateur biologists, and the NH Natural Heritage Bureau. We obtained wildlife locations from sources including museum specimens, personal contacts, the scientific literature, and through extensive field research. It is important for readers to remember that this list is dynamic – as new discoveries are made or populations are lost, species may be added to or removed from the list.
