Kentucky’s Threatened and Endangered Species booklet features those species that are listed as federally threatened or endangered in the state due to:
- the present or threatened destruction, modification, or curtailment of the species habitat or range;
- over utilization for commercial, recreational, scientific, or educational purposes;
- disease or predation;
- the inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanisms;
- other natural or manmade factors affecting their continued existence.
The booklet contains information about the 3 mammals, 4 birds, 5 fish, 1 insect, 1 crustacean, 14 mussels, and 9 plants that are listed as threatened or endangered. You can receive a copy of the T&E Species Booklet by contacting KDFWR at: 1-800-858-1549 or write Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife Resources, #1 Sportsman's Lane, Frankfort, KY 40601.
