LESSER- KNOWN RARE and ENDANGERED ANIMAL SPECIES of MANITOBA

Not all of Manitoba’s rare or endangered species are large and charismatic. Some are tiny and secretive, some are drab and some pose unique challenges for inventory and monitoring. All are important components of the province’s bio-diversity and merit our attention. This workshop will look at a few of these species, from mole salamanders to freshwater clams, from prairie skippers to prairie crayfish. Participants will learn where these species are found, how to identify them and how to help in their conservation.
