The western gray squirrel is already labeled as a 'threatened' specials in Washington.
WASHINGTON — Washington’s Department of Fish and Wildlife is pushing to label the western gray squirrel as an endangered species.to change the squirrel’s listing from its current status as “threatened.” It’s estimated that between 468 and 1,405 western gray squirrels remain, spread across three groups in the Puget Trough, Klickitat, and Okanogan regions.
“None of the three current populations seem to be large enough to avoid a decline in genetic diversity and at least two may suffer from the negative effects of inbreeding,”The western gray squirrel was first listed as “threatened” in 1993. If the proposal to make it endangered is approved, it would come with a handful of measures designed to conserve the species. That would include higher penalties for harming or killing them., which can be mistaken for its threatened western counterpart.
