Threat Hotspots for 67 At-Risk Species in Quebec

2026 analysis identifies sectors with the highest threat impacts on 67 wildlife species in precarious situations. The dataset covers amphibians, insects, mammals, birds, fish, and reptiles, including species like the copper redhorse, golden eagle, and Bicknell's thrush. It was produced by the Quebec Natural Heritage Data Center as part of an integrated recovery approach.

Use Cases
