The threatened and endangered species on this map represent Nebraska state classifications. The map shows the estimated current habitat ranges of the endangered species in Nebraska.The area denoted as whooping crane habitat is primarily flyway; however, a section of the Platte River in Dawson, Buffalo, Gosper, Phelps, and Kearney counties is considered 'critical habitat' for the whooping crane. A 'critical habitat' is a geograpic area that contains biological, landscape, and climate features considered imparative for a species to thrive.The ranges specified for the other species, as identified by the Nebraska Natural Heritage Program, do not include a specified 'critical habitat'.
