Species at Risk
At today's NCC Board Meeting the following was reported under the Ecosystem Conservation Plan heading:
Following our application to the interdepartmental funds program for the recovery of species at risk, the NCC secured $107,300 on behalf of Gatineau Park to study Blanding’s turtle and the striped chorus frog, and an additional $21,500 to study another species at risk (the name of this species must remain confidential since it is vulnerable to illegal harvesting).
Hmmm. Seems to me that there is one species subject to illegal harvesting that doesn't remain too anonymous due to large signs in the park advertising the fact.
