Texas has the 7th largest number of species at very high, high or moderate risk, according data from NatureServe, a US non-profit organization that assigns conservation status rankings to plant and animal species.
The TPWD data is available on a county level so that users can inspect species with documented or likely habitats in specific counties. TPWD’s target audience for the county-level data are planners and developers looking to build in areas that may be crucial habitats to threatened species. There are ten endangered and 19 threatened species that are found — or, in the case of whales on the list below, have the potential to be found — in Harris County. Endangered and threatened species are provided legal protection under federal and state laws because they are at greatest risk of extinction or extirpation, a term meaning local instead of global loss.
