Endangered species recovery plans are like a blueprint. They are plans developed by scientists and experts to help protect an endangered species and help it recover and become healthier. These plans may include things like protecting the species’ habitat, or the environment they live in, restoring areas of their natural habitat that may have been disturbed or destroyed, and increasing their food sources or finding new ones. They also often involve monitoring the species’ health and their population to make sure the plan is working. The goal of these plans is to make sure the species is healthy and able to reproduce, so that it can survive and thrive over time.
