Reasons for such pres- ervation range from the sentimental to the practical, e.g. from perpetuating the species with which man has evolved to ensuring ourselves future resources--including from sources that we may not now yet recognize. Whatever our reasons, such pres- ervation must now be pursued through systematic and applied efforts, for the i mapcts of those things that diminish diversity are too great to risk any lesser involvement. Among the ways of achieving preservation of biological diversity is the identifica- tion and management of those species or populations that are most in danger of being lost from the spectrum of living things. Toward this end have been enacted various international, national, state, and local programs to aid endangered species, includ- ing the very important Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wildlife Fauna and the U.S. Endangered Species Act as amended in 1978. In New Mexico, the mandate for preservation of endangered species was enacted on February 26, 1974, with the passage of the Wildlife Conservation Act (Secs. 17-:-37 through 1 7-2-46, NMSA 1978). This Act directed the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish to establish such appropriate programs, and for the first time in history. the State Legislature appropriated monies from the General Fund for wildlife manage- ment by the Department. By September 1 974, the Department's Endangered Species Program was in full opera- tion--staffed by four fulltime biologists and a secretary. On January 24, 1975, the first State list of endangered species was formally issued by the State Game Commission, as Regulation No. 563. Subsequent revisions of this listing occur- red on March 7, 1975, December 5, 1975, May 21, 1976, February 10, 1978, and May 25, 1979. This handbook treats the list as revised on the last date, covering 93 species of animals that are considered endangered in New Mexico. These comprise 1 4 species of mammals, 30 birds, 18 reptiles, 6 amphibians, 24 fishes, and 1 crus- tacean. Of these, 2 mammals, 3 birds, 4 fishes, 1 reptile, and a crustacean are federally listed. The current listings are now under Regulation No. 599. The Department recognizes the fact that listing of species as endangered is merely a preliminary step toward preservation of such elements of biological diversity. As authorized under the Wildlife Conservation Act, the role of the Endangered Spe- cies Program encompasses the broad spectrum of activities that are necessary to achieve this preservation. These range from surveys and research to habitat acquisi- tion, dissemination of information, and law enforcement. In recognition of the sound- ness of its program, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has qualified New Mexico as a cooperating state under the Endangered Species Act. The cooperative agreement was signed and approved in mid-1976. State Definition of Endangered. Under the New Mexico Wildlife Conservation Act (1974), there are several points in which the definition of "endangered" differs from that of federal laws. In New Mexico, endangered species are defined as those "whose prospects of survival or recruitment within the State are in jeopardy or are likely within the foreseeable future to become so." The State's concept of endanger- ment is thus viewed with reference to populations within a geopolitical bounchlry (i.e. New Mexico), rather than in the federal sense as to populations within a sig- nificant portion or thoughout a species' range. This distinction means that many non-endemic species that are rare, local, peripheral, and/or declining in New Mexico are classified as endangered.

We have inserted EFED’s response after each APHIS comment that pertains to the comparative risk assessment (comment 6 relates to BEAD’s benefits assessment). Some of these issues were addressed in EFED’s response to registrants’ comments during the 30-day “errors-only” comment period in 2001 and comments submitted during the 120-day “public-comments” period from January to May of 2003. The present submission also includes a copy of APHIS’ comments from March 31, 2003, and they request that comments 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 be addressed. EFED addressed those comments in our July 17, 2004 “Response to Public Comments on EFED's Risk Assessment: "Potential Risks of Nine Rodenticides to Birds and Nontarget Mammals: a Comparative Approach", dated December 19, 2002", and we reiterate our response to those comments as well. We have also attached a table of many zinc phosphide use sites, methods of application, application rates and number of applications permitted, although many product labels do not provide that information.

    Checklist The University of New Mexico of New Mexico Division of Mammals Mammals The Museum of Southwestern Biology (MSB), established in 1936, is rich in natural history material from throughout western North America, many countries in Central and South America, and elsewhere in the world. Over 170,000 specimens place the Mammal Division among the ten largest collections of traditional mammal specimens in the Western Hemisphere. These specimens voucher the largest archive of ultra-frozen mammalian tissues worldwide in the Division of Genomic Resources and large series of protozoan, helminth, and arthropod parasites at several institutions including MSB, Manter Laboratory in Nebraska, and U.S. National Parasite Laboratory in Maryland. These collections are fully searchable and tied to each other and to other natural history collections and large databases (e.g., GenBank) via the World Wide Web. Investigations, graduate dissertations, and collaborative efforts with state and federal agencies have stimulated considerable growth in this collection in the past few decades, including substantial series recently accessioned from the USGS Biological Survey Collection (Denver) and University of Illinois.
