SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Section 4 of the Endangered Species 

Act (ESA) (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) 

specifies the process by which we can 

list species as threatened or endangered.

a species, the ESA requires us to take 

into account the efforts being made by 

any State or any political subdivision of 

a State to protect such species. We also 

take into account the efforts being made 

by other entities. States or other entities 

often formalize conservation efforts in 

conservation agreements, conservation 

plans, management plans, or similar 

documents. The conservation efforts 

recommended or called for in such 

documents could prevent some species
