Bird Conservation Strategy for Bird Conservation Region 3, Prairie and Northern Region

Résumé du livre

"Bird Conservation Region (BCR) 3, Arctic Plains and Mountains, covers an area of more than 2 900 000 km and spans the continent from Alaska to Labrador. The habitats within this area are varied, from sparse taiga forests at the treeline, to wet coastal meadows of sedges and grasses, to gravel barrens and glaciers. The majority of this BCR falls within Nunavut and the Northwest Territories, with smaller portions in Quebec, Labrador and the Yukon. This strategy covers all of BCR 3 contained within Environment Canada's Prairie and Northern Region, the small portion in the Yukon, and the five associated marine ecoregions. We refer to this area as BCR 3 PNR"--Executive summary.
