Threatened, Endangered, etc. list

[Bella]

Where can I view the list of threatened, endangered, or of special concern birds?
Thanks in advance.

The Canadian list is maintained by COSEWIC.

The COSEWIC list is not the legal list in Canada.  Have a look at the SARA (Species At Risk Act)Registry if you want to see "officially" designated species at risk at the federal level.

As you can see, "endangered" is a matter of interpretation.  What scientists consider to be endangered  is not necessarily what politicians consider to be endangered.

I think they are most likely to agree when the designation has no potential for significant economic impact.  

(Being cute helps them to get on the list too, but it probably only works for mammals.)
