Recovery Strategy for the Least Bittern (Ixobrychus exilis) in Canada

The Species at Risk Act (SARA, Section 37) requires the competent minister to prepare recovery strategies for listed extirpated, endangered or threatened species. The Least Bittern was listed as threatened under SARA in June 2003. Environment Canada led the development of this Recovery Strategy in partnership with the Parks Canada Agency. This recovery strategy was prepared in cooperation with the Provinces of Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia.

On January 30, 2015, clarifications to names of critical habitat units and descriptions were made in Table B-2 and Table B-3.

Consultation period: 2011-12-20 to 2012-03-19
