Quebec's wildlife species face documented threats with severity scores based on anticipated population decline. The table includes 130 threats affecting 91 species, using a standardized classification system from the Quebec Ministry of Forests, Wildlife and Parks. It was last updated on April 17, 2026.
Use Cases
- Identifying primary threats for a specific species based on the species-threat relationship matrix.
- Listing species affected by a particular threat based on the threat-species relationship matrix.
- Analyzing threat severity distributions using the five-level decline classification (Negligible to Extreme).
Strengths
- Includes 130 distinct threats and 91 wildlife species.
- Threat severity is quantified using a peer-reviewed, expert-derived five-level classification.
- Data is structured to allow bidirectional lookup (species to threats and threats to species).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- The description states it is not comprehensive and excludes unlikely or marginal threats.
