The National Capital Commission says 168 species are at risk on NCC lands in the National Capital area.
The 2009-2010 environment report shows 143 of the species at risk are in Gatineau Park, including wolves, Blanding’s turtle and the peregrine falcon.
The NCC says it has committed to protecting the important ecosystems found in Gatineau Park by creating the Gatineau Park Ecosystem Conservation Plan.
A few other speicies at risk would include Rock Climbers, Ice Climbers, Off-piste Skiers, Hikers & Snowshoers, Orienteers and outdoor lovers in general.
Downhill skiers, Meech Lake Residents and Automobile Drivers seem to be thriving OK.
