Introduction Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, requires federal agencies to "ensure" that actions authorized, funded, or carried out by them are not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of endangered (E), threatened (T) or proposed (P) species, or result in the destruction or adverse modification of their critical habitats. Also, the Forest Service established direction (Forest Service Manual 2670) to guide habitat management for endangered, threatened, proposed and sensitive species to ensure that these species receive full consideration in the decision-making process. That direction establishes the process, objectives, and standards for conducting Biological Assessments (BA) and Biological Evaluations (BE). The R-6 supplement to FSM 2672.4 identifies a four-step procedure for conducting a BA or BE. The steps are: 1. Pre-field review of existing information, 2. Field reconnaissance of the project area, 3. Risk assessment if species or habitat is present, 4. Biological investigation if data sufficient to complete step 3 do not exist. This BE contains the analyses of the effects of the proposed Deer Jasper Project (Figure 1 and attached project map) after the 2015 Stickpin fire on endangered, threatened, or proposed wildlife species listed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) as having the potential to occur within or adjacent the project project area. The USFWS stated that the following species might occur within or adjacent the area (letters from USFWS on file at the Colville National Forest’s (CNF) Supervisor’s Office): US Fish and Wildlife Service Threatened or Endangered species Woodland caribou Grizzly bear Canada lynx (Endangered) (Threatened) (Threatened) US Forest Service sensitive wildlife species (US Forest Service 2011).

Mollusks Fir Pinwheel (Radiodiscus abietum) Magnum Mantleslug (Magnipelta mycophaga) Habitat does not exist in the project area for the following species, this project would either have no effect or no impact to them or their habitat, and they will not be discussed further in this document: Common loons, bald eagles and eared grebes nest on large bodies of water, which do not occur in the project area. Sandhill cranes occupy open, wetland habitat which does not occur in the project area. Harlequin ducks reproduce on cold, high-gradient streams, which do not occur in the area. Harlequin ducks do migrate through the area, the most recent record coming from northeast of the project area (Pierre Lake) on April 25, 2008, and others dating from the early 2000s on Sherman Creek, about 10 miles east of the project area. American peregrine falcon nests have been documented only in the Pend Oreille Valley. The project area does not contain suitable nesting or foraging habitat. Bald eagles nest near large bodies of water containing abundant fish or waterfowl, neither of which occur in the project area. Roosting occurs near nesting areas. Woodland caribou: the nearest recovery area is over 2 mountain ranges and 2 rivers from the project area. Mountain goats occupy higher elevation, primarily rocky and open areas, which do not occur in or near the project area. Red-tailed chipmunks and pygmy shrews occupy dense, more mesic coniferous forests east of the Columbia River and do not occur in the project area (Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Gap Analysis Program). Great Basin fritillary occurs far to the south of the CNF. The single individual caught just south of the CNF boundary was misidentified (J. Pelham, pers .comm.) Zigzag darner, Subarctic darner, Subarctic bluet, Delicate emerald, and Whitehouse emerald. All these odonates occupy high-elevation open-water wetlands, which do not occur in or near the project area. 5 D. Analysis comments We conduct unit-by-unit analysis by computerized mapping. Computerized mapping can give a false sense of accuracy and precision for 3 main reasons. First, the computer provides inflated precision and accuracy, far greater than that of our mapping. Second, maps project a 3- dimensional surface onto a flat, 2-dimensional medium. Third, computer-generated maps look very accurate, but the resulting data are only as good as the map information entered into the computer. To prevent ourselves from portraying a false sense of accuracy, we round the acreage values for each unit's effects to the

  • Appendix A: Common and Scientific Names for Fish and Wildlife Species Found in Idaho
    APPENDIX A: COMMON AND SCIENTIFIC NAMES FOR FISH AND WILDLIFE SPECIES FOUND IN IDAHO. How to Read the Lists. Within these lists, species are listed phylogenetically by class. In cases where phylogeny is incompletely understood, taxonomic units are arranged alphabetically. Listed below are definitions for interpreting NatureServe conservation status ranks (GRanks and SRanks). These ranks reflect an assessment of the condition of the species rangewide (GRank) and statewide (SRank). Rangewide ranks are assigned by NatureServe and statewide ranks are assigned by the Idaho Conservation Data Center. GX or SX Presumed extinct or extirpated: not located despite intensive searches and virtually no likelihood of rediscovery. GH or SH Possibly extinct or extirpated (historical): historically occurred, but may be rediscovered. Its presence may not have been verified in the past 20–40 years. A species could become SH without such a 20–40 year delay if the only known occurrences in the state were destroyed or if it had been extensively and unsuccessfully looked for. The SH rank is reserved for species for which some effort has been made to relocate occurrences, rather than simply using this status for all elements not known from verified extant occurrences. G1 or S1 Critically imperiled: at high risk because of extreme rarity (often 5 or fewer occurrences), rapidly declining numbers, or other factors that make it particularly vulnerable to rangewide extinction or extirpation. G2 or S2 Imperiled: at risk because of restricted range, few populations (often 20 or fewer), rapidly declining numbers, or other factors that make it vulnerable to rangewide extinction or extirpation. G3 or S3 Vulnerable: at moderate risk because of restricted range, relatively few populations (often 80 or fewer), recent and widespread declines, or other factors that make it vulnerable to rangewide extinction or extirpation.

  • Recovery Strategy for the Dakota Skipper (Hesperia Dacotae) in Canada
    Species at Risk Act Recovery Strategy Series Recovery Strategy for the Dakota Skipper (Hesperia dacotae) in Canada Dakota Skipper 2007 About the Species at Risk Act Recovery Strategy Series What is the Species at Risk Act (SARA)? SARA is the Act developed by the federal government as a key contribution to the common national effort to protect and conserve species at risk in Canada. SARA came into force in 2003, and one of its purposes is “to provide for the recovery of wildlife species that are extirpated, endangered or threatened as a result of human activity.” What is recovery? In the context of species at risk conservation, recovery is the process by which the decline of an endangered, threatened, or extirpated species is arrested or reversed, and threats are removed or reduced to improve the likelihood of the species’ persistence in the wild. A species will be considered recovered when its long-term persistence in the wild has been secured. What is a recovery strategy? A recovery strategy is a planning document that identifies what needs to be done to arrest or reverse the decline of a species. It sets goals and objectives and identifies the main areas of activities to be undertaken. Detailed planning is done at the action plan stage. Recovery strategy development is a commitment of all provinces and territories and of three federal agencies — Environment Canada, Parks Canada Agency, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada — under the Accord for the Protection of Species at Risk. Sections 37–46 of SARA (www.sararegistry.gc.ca/the_act/default_e.cfm) outline both the required content and the process for developing recovery strategies published in this series.

  • Sentinels on the Wing: the Status and Conservation of Butterflies in Canada
    Sentinels on the Wing The Status and Conservation of Butterflies in Canada Peter W. Hall Foreword In Canada, our ties to the land are strong and deep. Whether we have viewed the coasts of British Columbia or Cape Breton, experienced the beauty of the Arctic tundra, paddled on rivers through our sweeping boreal forests, heard the wind in the prairies, watched caribou swim the rivers of northern Labrador, or searched for song birds in the hardwood forests of south eastern Canada, we all call Canada our home and native land. Perhaps because Canada’s landscapes are extensive and cover a broad range of diverse natural systems, it is easy for us to assume the health of our important natural spaces and the species they contain. Our country seems so vast compared to the number of Canadians that it is difficult for us to imagine humans could have any lasting effect on nature. Yet emerging science demonstrates that our natural systems and the species they contain are increas- ingly at risk. While the story is by no means complete, key indicator species demonstrate that Canada’s natural legacy is under pressure from a number of sources, such as the conversion of lands for human uses, the release of toxic chemicals, the introduction of new, invasive species or the further spread of natural pests, and a rapidly changing climate. These changes are hitting home and, with the globalization and expansion of human activities, it is clear the pace of change is accelerating. While their flights of fancy may seem insignificant, butterflies are sentinels or early indicators of this change, and can act as important messengers to raise awareness.
