This document summarizes the major findings of the Hagen et al. (2026) synthesis report. For detailed information necessary for implementing recovery actions, however, readers are referred to both the 2026 and 2017 synthesis reports.

Audience:  Government and Public

The 2026 Arctic Grayling synthesis report poses three questions, answers to which are required to design and implement effective recovery actions for Arctic Grayling in the upper Peace Basin: 1. What is the conservation status of remaining populations of Arctic Grayling? 2. Where are critical habitats and what is their relative importance? 3. What are key factors limiting system capacity currently? In the 2026 synthesis report, these questions are addressed through: 1) updated assessments of Arctic Grayling abundance, trend, distribution, and threats, which are rolled up to assess conservation status (urgency for recovery actions), 2) updated estimates of the distribution of critical habitats for Arctic Grayling in the upper Peace Basin, which identify where recovery actions must be located to be effective (where to work), and 3) a new analysis of limiting factors, which estimates what types of recovery actions are most likely to be effective for recovering Arctic Grayling in various sub-basins of the upper Peace Basin (what to do). Collectively, new study results since 2017 add to prior knowledge such that answers to questions about conservation urgency, where to work, and what to do are now tractable.
