Selected Species at Risk Profiles
Last review/update: July 28, 2005
Alberta is blessed with a wide variety of wildlife. However, several species are at risk of extinction or extirpation (extinction in a local area, but not globally) for a variety of reasons. Some are naturally rare and will always be at low numbers. Others have become at risk because of loss of habitat as a result of resource development or the expansion of urban or agricultural areas. All of these species require careful management.
This series of information summaries outlines the Status, Description, Habits, Reproduction, Food, Limiting Factors, and Management & Outlook for select species at risk in Alberta."
