Description

The MULTISAR program is focused on multi-species conservation at the landscape level that promotes stewardship through voluntary participation of landholders on both Crown and private lands. It is a collaborative effort among landholders, Alberta Conservation Association, Alberta Environment and Parks, and the Prairie Conservation Forum. This report summarizes MULTISAR's accomplishments in 2021-2022 in its three primary program areas: habitat conservation strategies; education, outreach and awareness; and research, monitoring, and evaluation.

MULTISAR: multi-species conservation value modelling within the Grasslands Natural Region of Alberta

To enable the prioritization of management activities in the Grassland Natural Region (GNR) of Alberta, a multi-species conservation value (MCV) model was created for 14 priority wildlife species... More ≫

Description

To enable the prioritization of management activities in the Grassland Natural Region (GNR) of Alberta, a multi-species conservation value (MCV) model was created for 14 priority wildlife species using existing resource selection function and habitat suitability index models developed by MULTISAR. The MCV model is an index that incorporates habitat value, conservation status designations, distribution and habitat patch size for each of the 14 priority wildlife species within the GNR. Areas with "very high" MCV scores have more high-quality habitat, more priority species, priority species with higher conservation status, and/or priority species with more restricted ranges. Areas with "low" MCV scores have relatively low habitat value, fewer priority species, species with lower conservation statuses, and/or more wide-ranging species. An MCV map was produced to identify areas with high multi-species value for conservation and management and may be used to guide the application of...

Description

The burrowing owl is an Endangered species in Alberta. This situational analysis provides the current state of the burrowing owl in Alberta, including a summary of biology, distribution, population, success of recovery actions to date, and knowledge gaps. The jurisdictional review examines recovery actions undertaken in other jurisdictions, the success of these actions and their applicability in Alberta. Recommendation for the future of Alberta's burrowing owl recovery program are provided.

Description

The Sprague's pipit is a small, ground-nesting songbird which, in Alberta, is found almost exclusively on native prairie. The bird is designated a Species of Special Concern in Alberta due to its large historic population decline and potential for continuing habitat alteration. This plan provides background information on the species and outlines a set of objectives and management actions to help meet the goals of returning Sprague's pipit populations to the mean abundance levels between 1980 and 1989, and conserving and maintaining remaining native prairie within the historic range of the species 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.
