LANSING, Mich. — Michigan’s list of threatened and endangered species has been updated.

The list now includes 407plantandanimalspecies after 58 species were added to the list, with 36 others removed, according to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

We’re told it’s the seventh time the list was updated in the last 50 years.

“When people come together to collaborate on conservation, we can recover rare species,” says Endangered Species Specialist Jennifer Kleitch. “For instance, trumpeter swans were just removed from Michigan’s threatened and endangered species list. Their populations have grown as a result of significant conservation efforts by many partners over decades.”
