Description

Sage grouse have experienced decline in all parts of their range, and in Canada have been considered Endangered since 1998. In late 2002, the Minister of Sustainable Resource Development formally delegated the responsibility of drafting a provincial recovery plan to the Sage Grouse Recovery Action Group. This recovery plan serves as a follow up to the Canadian Strategy, with the purpose of recommending actions in the spirit of enabling sage-grouse recovery in a manner that respects livelihoods and current land uses within sage-grouse range. The Sage Grouse Recovery Action Group defined two goals to promote sage-grouse recovery: enhance and maintain habitat for sage-grouse to satisfy life cycle requirements in support of a viable population within its remaining historical range; and achieve recovery of the sage-grouse population to a level that provides for sustainable recreational viewing and hunting.
