The General Status of Alberta Wild Species Report provides the basis for this official statistic, which calculates the percentage of assessed wild species considered 'at risk'. This performance measure supports commitments under the Accord for the Protection of Species at Risk, an agreement by provincial, territorial, and federal wildlife ministers. The data is produced by the Government of Alberta and was last updated in April 2026.
