List includes CDC red and blue and SARCO priority 1 or 2 for any of goals 1,2 or 3. 2 Species status determined by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC). T=Threatened; E=Endangered; SC=Special Concern; NAR=Not At Risk. 3 Species status determined by the British Columbia Conservation Data Centre (CDC). R= Red list (endangered, threatened); B=Blue list (special concern); Y=Yellow list (not at risk). 4 Priority rank the species received across the three goals (goals are defined in report). Rank varies from 1 to 6, 1 being the highest priority. 5 Species Accounting System Groups (see report): Group 1 – generalist species that inhabit many habitat types or respond positively to forest practices; Group 2 – species that can be statistically assigned to broad habitat types; Group 3 – species with strong dependencies on specific elements; Group 4 – species restricted to specialized and highly localized habitats; Group 5 – species for which patch size and connectivity are considered important; Group 6 – species known or expected to occur in the area, but that are not dependent upon forested environments and are not monitored. 6 Habitat information is from BC eflora atlas (http://www.eflora.bc.ca), NatureServe Species Explorer (http://www.natureserve.org/explorer), and MacKinon et al.

List of butterflies from Kelly Squires work for Fred Bunnell 1 Species are ordered alphabetically by scientific name. 2 Species status determined by the British Columbia Conservation Data Centre (CDC). R= Red list (endangered, threatened); B=Blue list (special concern); Y=Yellow list (not at risk). 3 Priority rank the species received across the three goals (goals are defined in report). Rank varies from 1 to 6, 1 being the highest priority. Ranks are for species only - not assigned to subspecies. 4Species Accounting System Groups (see report): Group 1 – generalist species that inhabit many habitat types or respond positively to forest practices; Group 2 – species that can be statistically assigned to broad habitat types; Group 3 – species with strong dependencies on specific elements; Group 4 – species restricted to specialized and highly localized habitats; Group 5 – species for which patch size and connectivity are considered important; Group 6 – species known or expected to occur in the area, but that are not dependent upon forested environments and are not monitored. 5 Habitats from Guppy, C.S. and J.H.

Prepared for Slocan Forest Products Ltd. 1Species are ordered alphabetically by scientific name; These species are not listed by CoSEWIC and by the British Columbia Conservation Data Centre; Goal priorities were not assessed. 2 Species Accounting System Groups (see report): Group 1 – generalist species that inhabit many habitat types or respond positively to forest practices; Group 2 – species that can be statistically assigned to broad habitat types; Group 3 – species with strong dependencies on specific elements; Group 4 – species restricted to specialized and highly localized habitats; Group 5 – species for which patch size and connectivity are considered important; Group 6 – species known or expected to occur in the area, but that are not dependent upon forested environments and are not monitored. 3 Biogeoclimatic Zones in British Columbia are described by Meidinger and Pojar (1991).
