Isn species “X” extirpated from the GGNRA?
Declaring a species extirpated from the GGNRA is difficult to do, because there is a possibility that a rare species escapes detection. Some species that are part of the 2008 GGNRA Endangered Species Big Year may be extirpated from the GGNRA, but scientists are not ready to declare this yet definitively. It may also be that scientists believe that although the species is currently extirpated from the GGNRA, it is likely to return to the GGNRA under the right conditions. You may be the lucky person to rediscover one of these species in the Park.
