N.J. Endangered and Threatened Wildlife New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife Endangered and Threatened Wildlife of New Jersey Endangered Species are those whose prospects for survival in New Jersey are in immediate danger because of a loss or change in habitat, over-exploitation, predation, competition, disease or contamination.
Assistance is needed to prevent future extinction in New Jersey.
Threatened Species are those who may become endangered if conditions surrounding them begin to or continue to deteriorate. The lists of New Jersey's endangered and nongame wildlife species are maintained by the Division of Fish and Wildlife's Endangered and Nongame Species Program . These lists are used to determine protection and management actions necessary to ensure the survival of the state's endangered and nongame wildlife. This work is made possible through voluntary contributions received through Check-off donations to the Endangered Wildlife Conservation Fund on the New Jersey State Income Tax Form, the sale of Conserve Wildlife License Plates, and donations.
