	Species at risk - NATIONAL RECOVERY PLAN FOR BLANDING'S TURTLE
		The establishment and development of Kejimkujik National Park also may have contributed to the low survival of eggs and hatchlings by sustaining an elevated raccoon population and through habitat modifications such as road, beach, and campground construction.
		Within Kejimkujik National Park, predation on nests, especially by raccoons (Procyon lotor) may be elevated, particularly near the main campground (Morrison, in progress).
		The goal of this Recovery Plan is to establish a self-sustaining population of Blanding's Turtle both in protected areas (Kejimkujik National Park) and outside the park within the species' historical range in Nova Scotia, thereby enabling COSEWIC to consider downlisting or delisting this population from the list of threatened species.
