Description
The swift fox, a small fox identified by its long black-tipped tails and black facial spots and which used to range widely across the Canadian prairies, is now listed as Endangered in Canada and in Alberta. The goals of this recovery plan include the enhancement and maintenance of habitat for swift foxes to satisfy life cycle requirements and the reduction of swift fox mortality from disease and human-related causes. The plan provides background information on the Alberta Swift Fox, 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.
