Status of the sage grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus urophasianus) in Alberta

Description

This wildlife status report looks at the sage grouse, the largest species of grouse in North America and listed as endangered in Alberta. As a result of the loss of the native sagebrush grasslands, the range of the sage grouse in North America has decreased by over 50 per cent during the 20th century. The sage grouse is listed as a threatened species in Canada and as at risk in Alberta. This report is part of the Alberta Wildlife Status Report series, which provides comprehensive summaries of selected wildlife species intended to be useful to those managing populations of species and their habitats, and to help identify species that may be formally designated as endangered or threatened.
