A 2021 press release from the USFWS proposes twenty-three species for delisting from the Endangered Species Act due to extinction. The list includes species of birds, freshwater mussels, fish, a bat, and a single plant. This poster will discuss conservation documents related to species within California and Nevada, look at current legislation (Recovering America’s Wildlife Act), and a checklist of action items for conservation success.

My name is Carolyn and I've been a member of the Western Section of The Wildlife Society since 2019. I have been involved as one of the volunteer coordinators for the Western Section annual conference since 2021, the Technical Committee Lead for Sacramento-Shasta Chapter, and on the fundraising committee for the Humboldt State Alumni Association, Conservation Unlimited (CUAA). I graduated from Humboldt State University in 2016 and currently work as an Environmental Scientist for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. I have worked seasonal technician positions with the U.S. Forest Service, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service doing amphibian surveys, spotted owl surveys, Northern goshawk surveys, and other habitat restoration-related work such as weed spraying and fence removal.
