Key indicators for each issue area will be presented, along with secondary measures that provide more detailed information. In summary, these natural diversity indicators show that: (a) freshwater fish are of particular concern in the province — over 35% of the forest dependent freshwater fish are threatened or endangered; (b) some wildlife which are managed for recreational purposes show significant declines in their ranges (i.e., mountain caribou, sharp-tailed grouse), while others show fairly stable ranges (i.e. black-tailed deer, moose); (c) changes in the distribution of 40% of forest-dwelling mammals is unknown...
