A number of plants and animals that were once native to Grand Canyon can no longer be found within its' boundaries. Native plants and animals that are no longer present in a place that was once their home are called extirpated species. The Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program has a goal to restore populations of extirpated species, to the extent feasible and advisable.
