The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks is conducting a five-year review of the lists of Kansas species that are endangered, threatened or Species in Need of Conservation.

The state endangered list currently includes 11 invertebrates, five fish, two amphibians, two birds and two mammals. The state threatened list includes six invertebrates, 10 fish, six amphibians, three reptiles, one turtle, two birds and one mammal. The Species in Need of Conservation list includes 82 species. KDWP relies on the Threatened and Endangered Species Task Committee to assist with the review process. More information on the petition process and a link to add a species to the list is available here.
