Abstract
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), determine that the northern distinct population segment (DPS) of the southern subspecies of scarlet macaw (Ara macao macao) is appropriately listed as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (Act), as amended. Scarlet macaws are brilliantly colored parrots native to Mexico and Central and South America. This notification affirms the Service's February 26, 2019, final rule listing the scarlet macaw under the Act and provides a final significant portion of its range analysis for the northern DPS.
