The Species at Risk Primer is an easy-to use entry point for people wanting to research and learn about species at risk in British Columbia. It provides basic biological and distribution information in lay terms and provides easy access to more detailed information from the Conservation Data Centre (CDC) and other sources. Local government staff, consultants, landowners, citizens groups, non-profit organizations and students should all find it useful.
The Species at Risk Primer update project is developing solutions-based approaches to land management for species at risk. Stewardship practices (SPs) will be developed for species at risk of concern to agricultural producers, local governments and private landowners in priority geographic areas such as the Fraser Valley and the South Okanagan. SPs will be tailored to the particular suites of species that occur on the landscape in consultation with species experts, the agricultural community and government.
