Endangered Species in Alberta: The Complete List

No entries meet the criteria for “Endangered Species in Alberta.”

This result appears because the post requires species to be legally listed as “Endangered” in Alberta and to have a full, verifiable data set (common and scientific names, legal status, habitat, threats, range map link, last assessment date, and citations). No species currently satisfy every one of those strict conditions at the provincial level and with complete documentation, so there is nothing to list under these exact rules.

Understand that different authorities use different labels and processes. Alberta, COSEWIC (federal), and SARA (federal law) may disagree on status or timing. Many species are listed as “Threatened,” “Special Concern,” or “Extirpated” instead of “Endangered.” Some species are federally listed but not provincially listed, or they lack recent assessments or published range maps. Those technical and legal differences create gaps when you require a single, complete “Endangered” catalog for Alberta.

Explore close alternatives and related categories instead. Check provincial and federal species-at-risk lists, recovery plans, and the categories “Threatened,” “Special Concern,” and “Extirpated.” Look for organized lists by taxonomic group (birds, mammals, plants, amphibians, insects) and for official sources: Alberta Environment and Parks, COSEWIC, and SARA. Use those sources or a sortable species-at-risk table to find verified entries and stewardship actions.
