Florida passed its Endangered Species Act in 1976, giving the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) research and management authority for state listed animals. Since that time, a great deal has been learned and accomplished regarding their management needs. FWC currently lists 118 species as endangered, threatened or special concern. On this site you will find rules and regulations along with other information pertaining to these animals. Thank you for your interest and support for listed species recovery in Florida.
