This IS a gorgeous publication.  Far as I can tell, the only U.S. species 
is Franklin's bumblebee! Search on Bombus.

IUCN Releases List of 100 Most Threatened Species
11 September 2012: More than 8,000 scientists from the International Union 
for Conservation of Nature Species Survival Commission (IUCN SSC) have 
compiled a list of the 100 most threatened animals, plants and fungi on 
the planet. Their report, titled "Priceless or Worthless?" was released 
with the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) during the IUCN World 
Conservation Congress. 
The report notes that the decline of some of the species is mainly caused 
by humans, and their extinction can still be avoided if conservation 
efforts are enacted.
The 100 species come from 48 different countries, and include: the pygmy 
three-toed sloth; the saola, which is also known as the Asian unicorn 
because of its rarity; the willow blister; and the spore-shooting fungi. [
