Overview
Alberta’s wild species can often face threats that impact their populations. Such threats may include:
- changes to habitat
- disease
- human-wildlife interactions
- flood and drought
These threats can impact a species’ population as well as the entire ecosystem that they are a part of. Ongoing assessment of the status and health of wild species populations is a vital step in provincial fisheries and wildlife conservation efforts.
