Description

The ferruginous hawk, a migratory bird of prey which occurs exclusively in North America, is listed as Endangered in Alberta. The Alberta Ferruginous Hawk Recovery Plan refines the long-term recovery goal for the species and identifies indicators of success to continue to implement recovery strategies and actions necessary for the recovery and conservation of ferruginous hawk in Alberta as outlined in the Alberta Ferruginous Hawk Recovery Plan 2009-2014. The goal of this recovery plan is to achieve a viable, self-sustaining ferruginous hawk population distributed across suitable habitat in Alberta's Grassland Natural Region through maintenance and/or enhancement of a functional prairie ecosystem. The plan provides background information on the ferruginous hawk, describes the threats facing the species, outlines proposed strategies to address these threats, and presents an action plan that lists priority actions required to maintain and restore the species.

Description

The long-billed curlew is the largest member of the sandpiper family and is distinguishable by its long downward curved bill and large size. It has been designated a Species of Special Concern in Alberta and Canada due to the contraction of its range and small, possibly declining, population. Habitat alteration is the primary threat to this species. This plan provides background information on the species and outlines a set of objectives and management actions to help meet the goal of maintaining the current distribution and population of long-billed curlew in Alberta. Conservation management plans are developed for Species of Special Concern in Alberta, to provide guidance for land and resource management decisions that affect the species and their habitat. They are intended to be a resource tool for provincial and regional fish and wildlife, land and resource management staff.
