View Rule

We propose to reclassify the plant Eugenia woodburyana (no common name) from an endangered species to a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), due to improvements in the species’ status since the original listing in 1994. E. woodburyana is a plant found in Puerto Rico. A thorough review of the best available scientific and commercial information indicates that E. woodburyana is not currently in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range, but it is likely to become so within the foreseeable future. If this proposal is finalized, E. woodburyana would remain protected as a threatened species with a rule under section 4(d) of the Act to provide measures that are necessary and advisable for conservation of this species.
