E.2. S1 AND S2 SPECIES 

The following species are listed by the Natural Heritage Programs of Alabama and Mississippi as State 

imperiled species. The Heritage ranking system was developed by The Nature Conservancy. The State 

ranked species are species of concern and will be managed by the BLM to prevent any further reduction 

in species numbers or critical habitat loss. An S1 species as defined by The Nature Conservancy is 

“critically imperiled in the state because of extreme rarity (5 or fewer occurrences of very few remaining 

individuals or acres) or because of some factor(s) making it especially vulnerable to extirpation from the 

state.” An S2 species as defined by The Nature Conservancy is “imperiled in the state because of rarity (6 

to 20 occurrences or few remaining individuals or acres) or because of some factor(s) making it very 

vulnerable to extirpation from Alabama.”

are regularly occurring, usually migratory and typically non-breeding species in the state; this category 

includes migratory birds, bats, sea turtles, and cetaceans which do not breed in the state but pass through 

twice a year or may remain in winter.”
