The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has delisted 21 species from the federal Endangered Species Act due to their extinction.
An ivory-billed woodpecker specimen is on a display at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, Sept. 24, 2021. The federal government has been asked to consider at least two videos made in recent years as evidence that ivory-billed …Most of the species were first covered under the act in the 1970s and 1980s when their numbers were already precipitously low and when some may have already gone extinct, the agency said.
Among the species now considered officially extinct, there is one mammal, a fruit bat formerly found in Guam, and two species of fish. Birds and mussels featured heavily, with eight bird species formerly found in the state of Hawaii and eight mussels formerly found in the American Southeast also included for delisting.
Two species were originally slated to be declared extinct but were removed from delisting consideration. One is a Hawaiian herb that could live in habitats uncovered in more recent surveys.
