Alabama Natural Heritage Program SM 

Keeping Track of Alabama’s Natural Heritage 

The purpose of the Alabama Natural Heritage Program SM (ALNHP) is to provide the best available 

scientific information on the biological diversity of Alabama to guide conservation action and promote 

sound stewardship practices. Established by The Nature Conservancy in 1989, it is one of a network of 

such programs collectively known as the Natural Heritage Network, which is represented by its 

membership organization NatureServe. NatureServe works to aggregate data from individual Network 

Programs and is dedicated to the furtherance of the Network and the application of Heritage data to 

biodiversity conservation.. The mission of Natural Heritage Programs is to collect and manage data 

about the status and distribution of species and ecosystems of conservation concern. Natural heritage 

programs have become the recognized source for the most complete and detailed information on rare 

and endangered species and threatened ecosystems, relied upon by government agencies, corporations, 

and the conservation community alike. Today the NatureServe network includes 74 independent natural 

heritage programs and conservation data centers throughout the United States, Canada, Latin America, 

and the Caribbean. Most heritage programs (or conservation data centers) are housed within state or 

provincial government agencies, while some reside within universities or non-governmental 

organizations. ALNHP is administered through the Auburn University Environmental Institute. 

ALNHP provides the following services: biodiversity data management, inventory, site prioritization, 

conservation planning, Geographical and Information Systems, biological monitoring, and land 

management expertise. 

Natural Heritage Programs have three broad functions: to collect information on the status and 

distribution of species and natural communities, to manage this information in a standardized way, and 

to disseminate this information to a wide array of users. Natural Heritage Programs use a standardized 

information management system to track biodiversity data including taxonomy, distribution, population 

trends, habitat requirements, relative abundance, quality, condition, and viability. Programs also track 

non-biological information including land ownership type, land-use and management, distribution of 

protected areas, and threats to species or their habitat. 

One of the important tasks each heritage program performs is the regular compilation of a "Rare Species 

Inventory List" for the state that ranks by priority each element based on the number and quality of 

occurrences. Although these lists are compiled using the best scientific information available at the 

time, there is always more current information available on a particular species, distribution and/or 

status. We would appreciate any new information on the location, abundance, or rarity of any of the 

species on the following list. Please send your comments to the appropriate staff member.

NatureServe 

NatureServe is a non-profit conservation 

organization whose mission is to provide the 

scientific basis for effective conservation action. 

NatureServe represents an international network of 

biological inventories—known as natural heritage 

programs or conservation data centers—operating in 

all 50 U.S. states, Canada, Latin America and the 

Caribbean. NatureServe’s three organizational goals 

are: 

(1) Help make biodiversity a mainstream 

consideration in all significant conservation 

and natural resource management decisions 

by making it simple for conservationists, 

government agencies, corporations, and 

landowners to access and use high-quality 

biodiversity information. 

(2) Advance our scientific resources and 

information technology systems in order to 

meet the needs of our clients and partners. 

(3) Strengthen our organizational effectiveness 

and capacity and better leverage the power of 

the NatureServe network to inform 

conservation action at local, regional, 

national, and international scales.

Definition of Heritage Ranks 

The Alabama Natural Heritage Program uses the Heritage ranking system developed by The Nature 

Conservancy. Each species is assigned two ranks; one representing its range-wide or global status (G 

rank), and one representing its status in the state (S rank). Species with a rank of 1 are most critically 

imperiled; those with a rank of 5 are most secure. 

Global Ranking System 

State Ranking System 

G1 

G2 

G3 

G4 

G5 

GX 

GH 

GU 

GNR 

G#T# 

Critically Imperiled – At very high risk of 

extinction due to extreme rarity (often 5 or fewer 

populations), very steep declines, or other 

factors. 

Imperiled – At high risk of extinction due to very 

restricted range, very few populations (often 20 

or fewer), steep declines, or other factors. 

Vulnerable – At moderate risk of extinction due 

to a restricted range, relatively few populations 

(often 80 or fewer), recent and widespread 

declines, or other factors. 

Apparently Secure – Uncommon but not rare; 

some cause for long-term concern due to 

declines or other factors. 

Secure – Common; widespread and abundant. 

Presumed Extinct (species) – Not located despite 

intensive searches and virtually no likelihood of 

rediscovery. 

Eliminated (ecological communities) – 

Eliminated throughout its range, with no 

restoration potential due to extinction of 

dominant or characteristic species. 

Of historical occurrence throughout its range. 

Possibly Extinct (species) – Missing; known 

from only historical occurrences but still some 

hope of rediscovery. 

Presumed Eliminated – (Historic, ecological 

communities)-Presumed eliminated throughout 

its range, with no or virtually no likelihood that it 

will be rediscovered, but with the potential for 

restoration, for example, American Chestnut 

Forest. 

Unrankable – Currently unrankable due to lack 

of information or due to substantially conflicting 

information about status or trends. 

Not ranked to date. 

S1 Critically imperiled in Alabama because of 

extreme rarity (5 or fewer occurrences of very 

few remaining individuals or acres) or because of 

some factor(s) making it especially vulnerable to 

extirpation from Alabama. 

S2 Imperiled in state because of rarity (6 to 20 

occurrences or few remaining individuals or 

acres) or because of some factor(s) making it 

very vulnerable to extirpation from Alabama. 

S3 Rare or uncommon in Alabama (on the order of 

21 to 100 occurrences). 

S4 Apparently secure in Alabama, with many 

occurrences. 

S5 Demonstrably secure in Alabama and essentially 

"ineradicable" under present conditions. 

SX Presumed Extirpated – Species or community is 

believed to be extirpated from Alabama. Not 

located despite intensive searches of historical 

sites and other appropriate habitat, and virtually 

no likelihood that it will be rediscovered. 

SH Historical (Possibly Extirpated) – Species or 

community occurred historically in Alabama, 

and there is some possibility that it may be 

rediscovered. Its presence may not have been 

verified in the past 20-40 years. A species or 

community could become SH without such a 20- 

40 year delay if the only known occurrences in a 

nation or state/province were destroyed or if it 

had been extensively and unsuccessfully looked 

for. The SH rank is reserved for species or 

communities for which some effort has been 

made to relocate occurrences, rather than simply 

using this status for all elements not known from 

verified extant occurrences. 

SNR Unranked – State conservation status not yet 

assessed. 

SA Accidental in Alabama, including species 

Infraspecific Taxon (trinomial) – The status of 

(usually birds or butterflies) recorded once or 

infraspecific taxa (subspecies or varieties) are 

twice or only at very great intervals, hundreds or 

indicated by a "T-rank" following the species' 

even thousands of miles outside their usual 

global rank. Rules for assigning T-ranks follow 

range; a few of these species may even have bred 

the same principles outlined above for global 

on the one or two occasions they were recorded. 

conservation status ranks. A T-rank cannot imply 

the subspecies or variety is more abundant than SU Unrankable – Currently unrankable due to lack 

the species as a whole-for example, a G1T2 

of information or due to substantially conflicting 

cannot occur. At this time, the T rank is not used 

information about status or trends. 

for ecological communities. 

SE An exotic established in Alabama. 


Variant Ranks and Rank Modifiers 

G#G# 

HYB 

Q 

Range Rank – A numeric range rank (e.g., 

G2G3) is used to indicate the range of 

uncertainty in the status of a species or 

community (e.g., an element may be given a 

G-rank of G2G3, indicating global status is 

somewhere between imperiled and 

vulnerable). Ranges cannot skip more than 

one rank (e.g., GU should be used rather than 

G1G4). Also applies to state ranks (e.g., 

S2S3) 

Hybrid 

Questionable taxonomy – Taxonomic 

distinctiveness of this entity at the current 

level is questionable; resolution of this 

uncertainty may result in change from a 

species to a subspecies or hybrid, or the 

inclusion of this taxon in another taxon, with 

the resulting taxon having a lower-priority 

conservation priority. 

? Inexact Numeric Rank – Denotes inexact 

numeric rank (e.g., G2?) 

Special State Ranking for Migrants 

SB 

SN 

Note: 

Regularly occurring, migratory and present only 

during the breeding season. A rank of S3B 

indicates a species uncommon during the 

breeding season (spring/summer) in Alabama. 

Regularly occurring, usually migratory and 

typically non-breeding species in Alabama; this 

category includes migratory birds, bats, sea 

turtles, and cetaceans which do not breed in 

Alabama but pass through twice a year or may 

remain in winter. A rank of S2B,S5N indicated 

a rare breeder but a common winter resident. 

Species that have resident breeding populations 

that are augmented in winter by non-breeding 

migrants may have dual ranks, one each for the 

breeding (B) and non-breeding (N) components. 


Definitions of Federal & State Listed Species Status 

Federal - U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 

Endangered Species (LE) - in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of their range. 

Threatened Species (LT) - likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all 

or a significant portion of their range. 

Proposed Endangered (PE) - the species is proposed to be listed as endangered. 

Proposed Threatened (PT) - the species is proposed to be listed as threatened. 

Partial Status (PS) - an infraspecific taxon or population has federal status but the entire species does not-- 

status is in only a portion of the species range 

Candidate (C) - Species for which the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has on file enough substantial information 

on biological vulnerability and threat(s) to support proposals to list them as endangered or threatened. 

Development and publication of proposed rules on Candidate taxa are anticipated, and USFWS encourages 

other agencies to give consideration to such taxa in environmental planning. 

Nonessential Experimental Population (XN) – Experimental reintroduced population 

State - Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR)
