Wild Species 2015, the fourth report in the series, presents the results of general status assessments for a broad cross-section of Canadian fungi, plants and animals. General status assessments are made by integrating the best available information on rarity, threats, and trends to generate an expert evaluation of the status of each species.
For the 2015 report, species ranks were calculated using methods developed by NatureServe, and then integrated into the global NatureServe data network. Each species received a rank in each province, territory or ocean region (where the species is known to occur), as well as a national rank.
These ranks necessarily represent a coarse-scaled assessment of a species’ status in Canada, due to the large number of species assessed, and the variability in the quantity and quality of information available for each species.
