Species Summaries

Do you want to know more about species at risk in Alberta?

We have many resources to help you learn about some of Alberta's unique wildlife. Depending on how much information you want, you can choose from the new ESCC Species At Risk fact sheets , the Alberta's Species At Risk profiles  (formerly the Threatened Wildlife series) and the Alberta Wildlife Status Report series . To access these information summaries, find your species of interest on the list below and follow the appropriate link at the top of the list. The profiles and status reports, and many of the ESCC fact sheets, are available as searchable HTML documents. The ESCC fact sheets and status reports are available as PDF files, to download and print if desired.

To read and print the PDF files, you need a PDF reader. If you do not have a PDF reader, one is available free-of-charge at www.adobe.com.
