Florida's Imperiled Species

Flatwoods Salamander (Ambystoma cingulatum)

Current status is a Species of Special Concern 

The FWC received a petition to add the Flatwoods salamander to the list of Endangered, Threatened, and Species of Special Concern in 1999.  The salamander was evaluated according to the listing process rules and it was determined addition to the Species of Special Concern List was warranted.  Final action was taken in 2001 and the Flatwoods salamander was added to the Endangered, Threatened, and Species of Special Concern List as a Species of Special Concern.  Below are links to the petition that was received in 1999, the final biological status report, and a copy of the approved management plan.
