![]() ![]() Occurrence: Yukon, Northern Territories, Nunavut, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador The extent to which populations have recovered relative to historical levels is generally unknown, but the consistent strong growth of the overall population suggests that there are currently no significant threats to the species. While pollutants continue to be used on the wintering grounds of some individuals, and can be found in tissue samples, they appear to be at levels that are not affecting reproductive success at the population level. Increasingly, the ongoing population growth is a function of healthy productivity and, in the case of urban-nesting pairs, exploitation of previously unoccupied habitat. The initial recovery was a result of reintroductions across much of southern Canada following the ban of organochlorine pesticides (e.g., DDT). Reason for designation: Following dramatic declines in the mid-20th century, this species has rebounded significantly over the past few decades, with continued moderate to strong increases in many parts of Canada since the last status report in 2007. Scientific name: Falco peregrinus anatum/ tundrius Assessment summary: November 2017Ĭommon name: Peregrine Falcon anatum/ tundrius The Peregrine Falcon pealei subspecies was designated Special Concern in April 2007 and November 2017. In April 2007, the Peregrine Falcon in Canada was assessed as two separate units: pealei subspecies and anatum/ tundrius. Status history: The Peregrine Falcon in Canada was originally evaluated by COSEWIC as three separate subspecies: anatum subspecies (Endangered in April 1978, Threatened in April 1999 and in May 2000), tundrius subspecies (Threatened in April 1978 and Special Concern in April 1992) and pealei subspecies (Special Concern in April 1978, April 1999 and November 2001). Conversely, there remains concern that oil spills or other factors that are capable of reducing seabird populations upon which they prey could result in the subspecies declining. However, a large portion of the population breeds in protected areas, and there is a high probability of rescue from the United States. Despite a continuing increase in numbers, its population remains small. ![]() Reason for designation: This subspecies occurs along much of the British Columbia coastline.
