Assessment rationale/justification
The species was previously extirpated from Canada. A small population is now established in Alberta and Saskatchewan through re-introductions. Animals are successfully breeding in the wild, although the species is potentially at risk from coyote predation and habitat loss.; Cette espèce était auparavant disparue du Canada. Une petite population est maintenant établie en Alberta et en Saskatchewan par le truchement de réintroductions. Les individus se reproduisent avec succès à l'état sauvage, bien que l'espèce soit possiblement en péril en raison de la prédation du coyote et de la perte de l'habitat.
