	Home - Canadian Wildlife Service - Environment Canada
		We are Canada's national wildlife agency and we handle wildlife matters that are the responsibility of the federal government.
		This includes the protection and management of migratory birds and nationally important wildlife habitat, endangered species, research on nationally important wildlife issues, control of international trade in endangered species, and international treaties.
		Wildlife management in Canada is shared by the federal and the provincial / territorial governments.

	Wildlife survey requires thinking like a duck
		Sixteen pilot-biologists with the Interior Department's Fish and Wildlife Service crisscross North America's four major bird migration flyways, checking the populations of waterfowl such as ducks and geese and the health of the ponds and marshy areas they inhabit.
		Wildlife officers in the United States and Canada and private researchers also band 1 million non-game and migratory birds annually to check where they travel and how many are taken by hunters.
		Hunting and wildlife enthusiasts who also happen to be presidents or members of Congress tend to keep close tabs on the program.

	Bird Importer Sent to Prison (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Canadian Wildlife Service had conducted a joint investigation that culminated in Flikkema's arrest in October as she was entering the United States.
		In a separate case, on Feb. 1, Canadian Wildlife Service arrested Flikkema, her husband Mike Flikkema, and their son Harold Flikkema on charges of illegally importing protected finches into Canada and re-exporting them to the United States, a violation of Canada's Wild Animal and Plant Protection Act and Regulation of International and Interprovincial Trade Act.
		The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal federal agency responsible for conserving, protecting and enhancing fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.

	Auk, The: A Passion for Wildlife: The History of the Canadian Wildlife Service
		A Passion for Wildlife: The History of the Canadian Wildlife Service.-J. Alexander Burnett.
		For example, chapter J is on "The Genesis of the Canadian Wildlife Service," followed by highlights of the 1947-1952 period: "Setting the Wildlife Agenda." The other nine chapters cover the history of enforcement; work with birds, mammals, and fish; habitats; education; toxicology; endangered species; and legislation.
		After migratory-bird hunting permits were introduced in 1966, samples of hunters were asked to submit wings and to complete hunting-success questionnaires to permit accurate correlation of bag composition data with the number and distribution of hunters.

	Ecosystem Information
		Evidence based on the Canadian Wildlife Service’s Breeding Bird Surveys (BBS) conducted between 1969 and 2000 indicates that the Great Blue Herons of the coast of British Columbia (includes Queen Charlotte Islands and Vancouver Island) are declining at a rate of 9.4 per cent per year.
		Environment Canada’s Canadian Wildlife Service has formed a partnership with the British Columbia Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection, and the WBT Wild Bird Trust of British Columbia to establish the Heron Stewardship Program.
		Canadian Wildlife Service scientists are working with students from the Centre for Wildlife Ecology at Simon Fraser University to understand the response of herons to eagle predators at their nests and the food supplies.

	A NATIONAL ECOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK FOR CANADA - OVERVIEW
		Although the basis for delineating individual ecological map units is to capture the major ecological components and the relationships between each component, it is essential to capture their relative abundance and pattern.
		The Canadian contribution to the development of an framework depicting the ecosystems for the North American continent was based on the work of the Ecological Stratification Working Group (1996).

		Since the mid-1970's, researchers at the Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service developed a computer modeling system that simulates the productivity of mallards (Anas platyrhynchos), a species for which data are relatively complete.
		Because of concern about survival of the species and benefits from modeling for mallards, the U. Fish and Wildlife Service recognized the value of developing and testing a model for northern pintails.

	MANAGEMENT
		With the Canadian Endangered Species Protection Act (CESPA) potentially being enacted within the next year, the Canadian Wildlife Service's endangered species program is experiencing a period of growth and renewed vigor.
		Since then the Canadian Wildlife Service has conducted three special harvest surveys, the results of which can be compared with previous surveys dating from the late 1970s onwards.
		When the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service initially set bag and season limits on sea ducks (i.e., seven daily - 107-day season) interest in sea duck hunting was minimal, and consequently harvest was light.

	Atlantic Green Lane - Criteria for Issuance of Rehabilitation Permits under the Migratory Bird Convention Act
		The Canadian Wildlife Service under the authority of the Migratory Bird Convention Act may issue permits to allow the rehabilitation of migratory birds in Canada.
		The Canadian Wildlife Service in the Atlantic Region requires that the rehabilitation facilities meet the requirements set out in the comprehensive set of regulations drawn up by the Province of Nova Scotia for rehabilitation of wildlife, titled Wildlife Rehabilitation Certification Requirements.
		The philosophy and principles that guide the Canadian Wildlife Service oiled wildlife response are summarized in the Canadian Wildlife Service National Policy on Oiled Birds and Oiled Species at Risk (November 1999).

	Whooping Crane (Endangered Species), Wildlife Species Information: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
		In 1937, the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge was established to protect the wintering area of the remaining whooping cranes.
		Since whooping cranes normally lay two eggs but only raise one chick, in one experiment, Canadian and American biologists removed the "extra" eggs from nests in the wild and brought them to the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in Laurel, Maryland, where they were artificially incubated and later used to establish a captive flock.
		The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's whooping crane recovery program has been so successful that other countries have adopted similar methods to protect other species of crane that are also threatened.

		Especially in the Canadian portion of the migration route, waste grain (barley and wheat) are an important part of the diet.
		The primary objectives of the plan are (1) to establish a stable or increasing AWB population with a minimum of 40 breeding pairs by the year 2000, and (2) to establish and support two other wild Whooping Crane populations, each with a minimum of 25 breeding pairs, by the year 2020.

	Bird Monitoring
		Each May and June the Canadian Wildlife Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service survey breeding waterfowl from the north-central U.S. throughout Canada and Alaska.
		This survey is the most extensive wildlife survey in the world, and its results are a major factor used in setting annual duck-hunting regulations.
		Given the tremendous cost associated with the banding effort and the reliance on banding as an essential management and research tool, the loss of data associated with this low band-reporting rate is regrettable.

	The Magnificant Whooping Crane: Wildlife and Endangered Species Pages
		In the late 1800s, there were about 1,500 birds in the aspen parkland and prairie regions of Western Canada and the U.S. As human settlement spread westward, the world population dropped to a low of 14-16 in the 1940s.
		Wildlife biologists want to establish new populations to ensure the species couldn't be wiped out by an oilspill there.
		During periods of migration, immediately report any sightings of whooping cranes to the Canadian Wildlife Service 24-hour hotline at 306-975-5595.
