Caribbean Endangered and Threatened Animals

Conservation Measures The white-necked crow was included in the Endangered Species list in 1991. Although the species has not been heard or seen in many years, it cannot be concluded that it has been completely eradicated. More intensive surveys into the historical locations for this species, as well as other places apt for it, are needed before such a determination can take place. The Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended prohibits the killing, harassing, trapping, purchasing or selling any species, as well as parts and products derived from the species.
