Read conservation information with its date and scope

A federal listing, a state conservation-priority list and a native-or-introduced label answer different questions, and the profiles keep them apart. Where we give a status, we show the agency's own category, the date we checked and a link. A proposed rule is not a completed change, and a recovering population is not the same as a delisted one.

When two sources disagree, we say so rather than choosing quietly. Status is also a snapshot: a profile's date is when the source was last read, and the agency page is always the place to confirm the current category.
