Description

The western small-footed bat is a Species of Special Concern in Alberta because it has a small range within the province, is found in a limited number of locations, and there is potential for its habitat to decline. Conservation management plans are developed for Species of Special Concern as internal guidance documents for land and resource management decisions that affect the species and their habitat. They include background information including species biology, threats to species and habitat, and inventory/monitoring history.

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.
