Q

What do Recovery Strategies identify?

A
  • Population objectives

Q

What do Action Plans identify?

A
  • Measures to achieve the population objectives for the species
  • Activities that would destroy the species critical habitat
  • Ways to preserve unprotected critical habitat
  • Methods to monitor the recovery of the species and its long term viability
  • Evaluate the socio-economic costs of the action plan and the benefits of its implementation

Q

What do Management Plans do?

A
  1. Sets out measures for the conservation of a species and its habitat
  2. Regulations to put the plan into effect (federal lands, aquatic species, migratory birds)
17
Q

True or False: There are no prohibitions for special concern species management plans. A special concern species can continue to be harvested and hunted, but there must be quotas to limit harvesting.

A

True

18
Q

What is RENEW?

A

Recovery of Nationally Endangered Wildlife

19
Q

Who comprises RENEW?

A
  • 16 federal, provincial and territorial departments
  • More than a hundred recovery teams made up of governmental
  • Non-governmental members
20
Q

What is NRWG?

A

National Recovery Working Group

21
Q

What does the NRWG do?

A

The National Recovery Working Group (NRWG) is a federal-provincial-territorial advisory body charged with improving the national recovery process.

22
Q

What is the process from COSEWIC listing to the National Recovery Team progress report.

A

Memorize the flow chart on slide 15**

23
Q

What is a response statement?

A

Describes the existing conservation measures range jurisdictions have in place to protect and / or recover a species.

24
Q

What are the Summary of Considerations for selection of scale of plan?

A

Slide 17

25
Q

What are the types of recovery strategies?

A
  1. Ecosystem or Landscape
  2. Multi-species
  3. Single-species
26
Q

Memorize the Recovery Decision Tree

A

Slide 18

27
Q

What are the 2 groupings within a Multi-species Approach to Recovery Planning?

A
  1. Species with overlapping ranges / similar biology.
  2. Resolution of threats / management conflicts.
28
Q

What are the 2 types of groups with overlapping ranges / similar biology?

A
  1. Sympatric Species
  2. Taxonomic Grouping
29
Q

What are advantages of Sympatric Species?

A
  • Includes the ecological integrity of the entire system-restoring the systems ecological integrity promotes recovery of the species at risk within it (80% of SAR due to habitat loss)
  • Requires greater number of stakeholders (wide range of info available)
  • Geographically compact
30
Q

What are some disadvantages of Sympatric Species?

A
  • Increased complexity compared to single species plan
  • Understanding interaction of variables
  • Prioritizing variables-recommended actions may be contradictory(good for one species, bad for another)
31
Q

What are some advantages of Taxonomic Grouping?

A
  • Grouping similar species (eg. Shore birds) eliminates redundancy in information needs
  • Reduce time needed to develop recovery strategy and move to action plan
  • Cost efficient to prepare plan
32
Q

What are some disadvantages of Taxonomic Grouping?

A
  • Can be geographically broad
  • One species can potentially come to dominate plan
  • Increased complexity over single species plans
33
Q

Within the Resolution of Threats of multi-species planning, what are the 2 subgroupings?

A
  1. Threats
  2. Management Conflicts
34
Q

What are some advantages of threats within the resolution of threats?

A
  • May be appropriate when the factor limiting populations is the same for a number of species
  • Eliminating the factor benefits more than one species
35
Q

What are some advantages of Management Conflicts in multi-species planning?

A
  • Resolves conflicts between management requirements
  • Prevents “accidents” (loss of one species through management actions for another)
36
Q

What are some disadvantages of Threats in the multi-species planning?

A
  • Multiple limiting factors or threat-complexity of threats (spatial, temporal, chronic vs. episodic)
  • Other factors may have to be dealt with even if the limiting factor is eliminated (eg. inbreeding depression)
37
Q

What are some disadvantages of Management Conflicts of the Multi-species planning?

A
  • May be impossible to reconcile different requirements (move to ecosystem or landscape based approach)
  • Complexity, requires detailed ecological knowledge
38
Q

True or False: In the real world, multi-species plans are not better than single-species plans, even though technically they should be.

A

True.
