Questions: Which is not a listing status under the ESA?
Transcript text: Which is not a listing status under the ESA?
Solution
The answer is the third one: Categorical Exclusion.
Explanation:
Endangered: This is a listing status under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) for species that are in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of their range.
Threatened: This is another listing status under the ESA for species that are likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future.
Categorical Exclusion: This term is not a listing status under the ESA. It is a term used in environmental policy, particularly under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), to describe actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment and therefore do not require an Environmental Assessment (EA) or Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
