On the IUCN "Red List of Threatened Species," the Kirtland's warbler was classified as vulnerable to extinction since 1994, but was downlisted to near threatened in 2005 due to its encouraging recovery. The birds depend on Bahamas feeding during winter. Changes to their Bahamas habitat may eventually become a bigger threat to the birds' recovery than the situation in its breeding range.

Kirtland's warbler was, and is, threatened by nest parasitism by the brown-headed cowbird, to which warblers are highly susceptible. The cowbird naturally fed on buffalo ectoparasites. With the destruction of the large buffalo herds, the cowbird sought other sources of food, bringing it into contact with Kirtland's warbler. In the 1960s, 70% of warbler nests were parasitized by cowbirds, reducing

order to provide management in efforts to increase the Kirtland warbler's population. Using these management techniques, the goal is to sustain 1,000 pairs of Kirtland's warbler, both male and female. A major portion of this plan is habitat management around the Roscommon area. The first objective is to develop and maintain anywhere from 36,000 to 40,000 acres (14,570 to 16,190 hectares) of reasonable nesting habitat for Kirtland's warbler. The second objective is to protect the warbler on wintering grounds, and to form an ideal migration problem. Other

By the mid-20th century its numbers had crashed to near-extinction. The Kirtland's warbler population reached lows of probably less than 500 individuals around the 1970s, and in 1994 only of suitable breeding habitat was available.

The Kirtland's warbler is listed as "endangered" under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, and was proposed to be removed from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife in 2018.

As the Kirtland's warbler—and Parulidae in general—is not able to expand into subarctic climate well, most jack pine woods are too far north for the species. Moreover, the Great Lakes, which formed before the receding ice, were an obstacle for its spread.

Kirtland's warbler ("Setophaga kirtlandii" ), also known as the jack pine warbler, is a small songbird of the New World warbler family (Parulidae), named after Jared P. Kirtland, an Ohio doctor and amateur naturalist. Nearly extinct just 50 years ago, it is well on its way to recovery. It requires large areas, greater than 160 acres (65 hectares), of dense young jack pine for its breeding habitat. This habitat was historically created by wildfire, but today is primarily created through the

goals include: reducing harmful factors in order to increase survival rates amongst the population, monitoring breeding, and keeping an accurate census in order to evaluate the total population in correlation to environmental factors. Finally, under the last portion of the Recovery Plan, there is a development and implementation of emergency measures to prevent total extinction. With all these key factors successfully completed, the life of the Kirtland's warbler will be sustained. Today the habitat of Kirtland's warbler is being preserved by controlled or prescribed burns and staggered timber harvests

Endangered species


An endangered species is a species which has been categorized as very likely to become extinct in the near future. Endangered (EN), as categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, is the second most severe conservation status for wild populations in the IUCN's schema after  (CR). In 2012, the IUCN Red List featured 3,079 animal and 2,655 plant species as endangered (EN) worldwide. The figures for 1998 were, respectively, 1,102 and 1,197. Many nations have laws that

a full assessment of conservation status. As these species typically have small distributions and/or populations, they are intrinsically likely to be threatened, according to the IUCN. While the category of "data deficient" indicates that no assessment of extinction risk has been made for the taxa, the IUCN notes that it may be appropriate to give them "the same degree of attention as threatened taxa, at least until their status can be assessed." This is a complete list of critically endangered mammalian species and subspecies evaluated by the IUCN.

The IUCN classifies the black-and-white warbler as Least Concern due to its large range and population size. However, its population is decreasing. Habitat loss and degradation, especially forest fragmentation, are the main factors contributing to the species’ decline. If habitat loss continues, in either or both summer or wintering habitat,

The main threat the aquatic warbler is facing is the loss of habitat due to the decline of traditional, extensive agriculture and overgrowing of the species’ habitat with reeds and bushes or trees. All signatories decide to work closely together to improve the conservation status of the aquatic warbler throughout its breeding, migrating and wintering range.

Population numbers, trends and species' conservation status can be found at the lists of organisms by population. The conservation status of a species indicates the likelihood that it will become extinct. Many factors are considered when assessing the status of a species; e.g., such statistics as the number remaining, the overall increase or decrease in the population over time, breeding success rates, or known threats.

The conservation status of "N. mikei" is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, based on an assessment carried out in 2000. This agrees with an informal assessment made by Charles Clarke in 2001, who also classified the species as Vulnerable based on the IUCN criteria. However, Clarke noted that since substantial populations of "N. mikei" lie within protected areas, they "are unlikely to become threatened in the foreseeable future".

Data deficient


A data deficient (DD) species is one which has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as offering insufficient information for a proper assessment of conservation status to be made. This does not necessarily indicate that the species has not been extensively studied; but it does indicate that little or no information is available on the abundance and distribution of the species. The IUCN recommends that care be taken to avoid classing species as "data deficient" when the absence of records may indicate dangerously low abundance:
