Feature Long Description: <span style="font-weight: bold;">Rare and Uncommon Species </span><div style="font-weight: normal;">Rare and uncommon species are species tracked by the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department Natural Heritage Inventory. Uncommon species are defined as facing a “moderate risk of extinction or extirpation due to restricted range, relatively few populations or occurrences (often 80 or fewer), recent and widespread declines, or other factors.” In contrast, rare species face a higher risk of extirpation and generally have 20 or fewer populations statewide. </div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Type: {TYPE_DESC} </span></div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Category: {CATEGORY} </span></div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">State Rank: {S_RANK_DES} </span></div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">State Protection Status: {VT_TE_DESC}</span></div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Federal Protection Status: {US_TE_DESC} </span></div><div style=""><span style="font-weight: bold;">Last Observed: <span style="font-size: 10pt;">{LAST_OBS}</span></span></div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Element Occurrence ID #: <a href="https://anrmaps.vermont.gov/websites/NNHP/PDF/{EO_ID}.pdf">{EO_ID}</a> </span></div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Priority: PRIORITY</span></div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><a href="https://anrmaps.vermont.gov/websites/BioFinder/Documents/ComponentAbstracts/SC6.PDF" style="font-weight: bold;">Link to Component Abstract</a></div>
