Assessment rationale/justification
The species requires sand dune habitat, which may disappear over the short term (10 years). The area of occupancy is only about 53 km² and only 1000 or fewer individuals are alive at the end of most winters. There is strong evidence for local adaptations of the Canadian population and a rescue effect is extremely unlikely because the nearest population in the United States is 270 km away.; L'espèce nécessite un habitat de dunes qui pourrait disparaà®tre à  court terme (10 ans). Sa zone d'occupation est d'environ 53 km² seulement, et tout juste 1 000 individus ou moins survivent à  la plupart des hivers. La population canadienne présente des signes convaincants d'adaptation locale, et une immigration de source externe est extrêmement peu probable puisque la population la plus près aux États-Unis se trouve à  une distance de 270 km.
