# List of Threatened, Endangered and Extinct species in the Mariana Islands

The following is a list of species (or subspecies) in the Mariana Islands, defined by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List or by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS), as being extinct, critically endangered, endangered, threatened, vulnerable, conservation dependent, or near threatened. This article addresses species found in the geopolitical states of Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI).
As of 2024, there were 32 species or subspecies in the Mariana Islands listed by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service as endangered or threatened. USFWS has cited threats to species from habitat loss and degradation; military activities; urbanization; recreational vehicles; nonnative animals such as feral ungulates (wild boar and sambar deer), water buffalo, rats, brown tree snakes, slugs, flatworms, ants, and wasps; nonnative plants; fires; typhoons; water extraction; and future climate change.
As of 2024, the USFWS and IUCN together listed 9 species or subspecies endemic to the Mariana Islands that have gone extinct: the little Mariana fruit bat (Pteropus tokudae); 5 birds (Guam flycatcher (Myiagra freycineti), bridled white-eye (Zosterops conspicillatus conspicillatus), Pagan reed-warbler (Acrocephalus yamashinae), Aguijan reed-warbler (Acrocephalus nijoi), the Mariana mallard (Anas oustaleti); and 3 snails (Partula desolata, Partula langfordi, Mount Alifana partula (Partula salifana)). Archaeological evidence has revealed another snail from Guam, the Partula desolata, to be extinct. Four undescribed and extinct bird species were excavated from Rota. Additionally, the Guam kingfisher (Todiramphus cinnamominus) is listed by the IUCN as extinct in the wild.

## Mammals

| Common name | Scientific name | US Fish & Wildlife conservation status | IUCN Red List status | Notes |
| Little Mariana fruit bat, Guam flying fox | Pteropus tokudae | Extinct (USFWS) | Extinct (IUCN) | Native to Guam. Last seen 1968; declared extinct in 2020 by IUCN, and 2023 by USFWS. |

## Endemic birds

Significant loses of bird species have likely occurred in the Mariana Islands in the past few millennia. A 1990 excavation of a late Holocene archeological site on Rota revealed the presence of 21 bird species, 12 of which have since become extinct or extirpated from Rota. Four of the species were not yet described and extinct: a small probably-flightless duck (Anatidae species), a giant ground-dove (Gallicolumba species), a large parrot (Psittacidae species), and a large parrotfinch (Erythrura).
The endemic birds of Guam, the southernmost Mariana island, were severely affected by the introduction of the brown tree snake after World War II. Since then, 11 of Guam's 14 terrestrial bird species have become extinct or extirpated from Guam. Only 3 species still exist in the wild on Guam (Micronesian starling, Mariana gray swiftlet and yellow bittern).
