Description

In Alberta, the western small-footed bat is restricted to the southeast where it lives in the badlands. It has been designated as a Species of Special Concern in Alberta because of these narrow habitat requirements. This plan provides background information on the species and a set of objectives and management actions to help meet the goal of maintaining the current distribution and breeding populations of the western small-footed bat 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.

Description

Grizzly bears, which once ranged throughout Alberta, are currently found in the Rocky Mountains and foothills, as far south as the United States border, and in the boreal forest from the British Columbia border to as far east as High Level, Peace River, Red Earth, and Slave Lake. The grizzly bear is considered a species that may be at risk of extinction or extirpation at the general status level. The goal of this recovery plan is to restore, and ensure the long-term viability of, a self-sustaining grizzly bear population in Alberta. The plan provides background information on grizzly bears, 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.
