The reports may be cited in publications but their manuscript status should be clearly indicated. , 1, 1 l 11 INTRODUCTION In recent years the Science Section of the Nova Scotia Museum has r ecei ved increasingly frequent requests from government and private agencies , and from individuals, for information on plant and animal species or communiti es which are of exceptional scientific value or interest and which may be affected by various kinds of proposed development. These requests fall i nto two categories : information on species or communities occurring at a particular location, and information on the distribution and vulnerability of a species or group of species throughout the province as a whole. Requests in the first category generally cannot be anticipated, and the Science Section r esponds to each one, using a Locality File listing its biological collections by county and location, supplemented by special knowledge of the staff when possible.

  • Milk River – Sage Creek: Coming to Terms on a Grassland Wilderness by Cliff Wallis
    ALBERTA WILDERNESS ARTICLE ASSOCIATION Wild Lands Advocate 9(5): 5-7, October 2001 Milk River – Sage Creek: Coming to Terms on a Grassland Wilderness By Cliff Wallis This is the story of how the AWA became a founding member of the Milk River Management Society in which it is still an active member today. Situated between the Cypress Hills and the Canada-U.S. boundary, Milk River-Sage Creek is one of the least fragmented, most extensive and most diverse prairie upland, wetland and valley landscapes on the glaciated plains of North America. This 5000 sq. km area is hard to describe in anything less than superlatives. Its size, unique geology and diverse ecosystems make it a national treasure. The Great Plains has been profoundly altered by human activities. In just over 100 years, more than 70% of Canada's grasslands have been destroyed by cultivation. Direct loss and fragmentation has changed species' distributions and numbers while transforming entire landscapes and natural ecological processes. It is one of the most endangered natural regions in North America. Despite this, less than 1% of Alberta's remaining grasslands are "protected". This has contributed to the high numbers of species at risk. Of Alberta's vertebrates at risk, over half occur at Milk River-Sage Creek. The area abounds in unique and rare phenomena, but it is the variety in both the rare and the common features that gives Milk River-Sage Creek its tremendous value. Resting atop a badland butte and gazing across the Milk River canyon and rolling grasslands to the forested Sweetgrass Hills, one can contemplate the natural majesty of the Great Plains.

  • The State of Lake Superior in 2000
    THE STATE OF LAKE SUPERIOR IN 2000 SPECIAL PUBLICATION 07-02 The Great Lakes Fishery Commission was established by the Convention on Great Lakes Fisheries between Canada and the United States, which was ratified on October 11, 1955. It was organized in April 1956 and assumed its duties as set forth in the Convention on July 1, 1956. The Commission has two major responsibilities: first, develop coordinated programs of research in the Great Lakes, and, on the basis of the findings, recommend measures which will permit the maximum sustained productivity of stocks of fish of common concern; second, formulate and implement a program to eradicate or minimize sea lamprey populations in the Great Lakes. The Commission is also required to publish or authorize the publication of scientific or other information obtained in the performance of its duties. In fulfillment of this requirement the Commission publishes the Technical Report Series, intended for peer-reviewed scientific literature; Special Publications, designed primarily for dissemination of reports produced by working committees of the Commission; and other (non-serial) publications. Technical Reports are most suitable for either interdisciplinary review and synthesis papers of general interest to Great Lakes fisheries researchers, managers, and administrators, or more narrowly focused material with special relevance to a single but important aspect of the Commission's program. Special Publications, being working documents, may evolve with the findings of and charges to a particular committee. Both publications follow the style of the Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences. Sponsorship of Technical Reports or Special Publications does not necessarily imply that the findings or conclusions contained therein are endorsed by the Commission.

It has been accepted for inclusion in U.S. National Park Service Publications and Papers by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. 9 Restoration of woodland caribou to the Lake Superior region PETER J. P. GOGAN AND JEAN FITTS COCHRANE Introduction Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) historically occupied the boreal forest zone across the North American continent. The distribution and abun­ dance of the species has declined in the past century. In particular, it has been extirpated from much of the southern limits of its historical range on both sides of the boundary between Canada and the United States (Bergerud 1974). Translocation of animals from extant populations may be used to reestablish populations in portions of the species' former range. Recently, wildlife biolo­ gists in Ontario have translocated woodland caribou to a number of sites in or adjacent to Lake Superior. While it is too soon to evaluate their long-term suc­ cess, these restoration efforts do provide useful insights into factors likely to influence the outcome of woodland caribou translocations elsewhere.
