One of the Oregon Biodiversity Information Center's main tasks is to list and rank rare, threatened, and endangered species in Oregon. Using our biodiversity
database of species occurrences throughout the state and by consulting with agencies, specialists, academics, and citizen scientists, ORBIC reviews and publishes this list every two to three
years.
Species ranks are important for natural resource management, prioritization of restoration or conservation efforts, and to highlight species that need more
research or protection. The ranks that ORBIC produces are shared internationally through the NatureServe network
of natural heritage programs and conservation centers, allowing information to be shared among several countries in the western hemisphere.
Definitions of ranks, lists, and abbreviations used in the RTE publications can be found on the RTE Definitions page.
