Extirpated Species of NJThese five species have been lost from New Jersey, but they still survive within a portion of their range. Although unlikely, it's possible they could return to the state in the future. In the meantime, their stories may help us understand how to better protect the species we still have. | |
Extinct & Extirpated Species of NJNew Jersey was once home to many more species than are here today. Extinction and extirpation have robbed the state of much of its natural heritage.
