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.
