The Golden-cheeked Warbler, a migratory songbird that breeds exclusively in the Ashe juniper-oak woodlands of Central Texas, was listed as endangered in 1990 due to rapid habitat loss from development. Although a recovery plan was released in 1992 and population estimates have improved, the species remains threatened by ongoing habitat fragmentation, wildfires, and climate change. 

The timeline below highlights key milestones in its conservation and the legal battle that continues to shape its status under the Endangered Species Act.
