Coalition member groups nominated wildlife species in the report. The Center for Biological Diversity, NRDC and the Xerces Society each nominated the monarch. A committee of distinguished scientists reviewed the nominations, and decided which species should be included in the report.
The Endangered Species Coalition has also produced a slide show to accompany the report, featuring stunning photos of each of the ten species in the report. The Coalition produces a “Top 10” report annually, focusing on a different theme each year. Previous years’ reports are also available on the Coalition’s Website.
