EGCP = East Gulf Coastal Plain Ecoregion MSRAP = Mississippi River Alluvial Plain Ecoregion** TIER DESCRIPTIONS
Tier 1 - Species that are in need of immediate conservation action and/or research because of extreme rarity,
restricted distribution, unknown or decreasing population trends, specialized habitat needs and/or habitat
vulnerability. Some species may be considered critically imperiled and at risk of extinction/extirpation.Tier 2 - Species that are in need of timely conservation action and/or research because of rarity, restricted
distribution, unknown or decreasing population trend, specialized habitat needs or habitat vulnerability or
significant threats.Tier 3 - Species that are of less immediate conservation concern, but are in need of planning and effective
management due to unknown or decreasing population trends, specialized habitat needs or habitat vulnerability.Tier 4 - Species listed as extirpated from Mississippi, of historical occurrence only, or accidental. While no
conservation action or research is recommended at this time, these species remain a SGCN in the event that taxa
may be rediscovered or reintroduced from populations existing outside the state.
