Description:
This guide provides an introduction to most of the species at risk (SAR) that are known to occur in the Slocan Watershed, with a focus on the more obscure and understudied species. It is based on the collective knowledge of local biologists who have been studying the watershed for decades, and a concentrated effort over the last seven years of this Canadian Nature Fund project to collect and summarize all the known SAR records. This initial guide is intended to be a living document to build upon, share and provide guidance to all communities, residents, tenure holders and stewardship groups. Key components (when available for a given species) of this initial guide include how to locate and identify, description of habitat, and how impacts from development, and other disturbances can be potentially mitigated.
