Recovery Strategy for the Sprague’s Pipit (Anthus spragueii) in Canada

Initiative: 
Recovery Strategy for the Sprague’s Pipit (Anthus spragueii) in Canada
Deadline: 
8 May 2011

The Recovery Strategy for the Sprague’s Pipit (Anthus spragueii) in Canada (Environment Canada 2008) was posted on the Species at Risk Public Registry in May 2008. Under Section 45 of the Species at Risk Act (SARA), the Minister of the Environment may amend a recovery strategy at any time. This amendment to the Recovery Strategy for the Sprague’s Pipit (Anthus spragueii) in Canada is for the purpose of:

  • Identifying Sprague’s Pipit critical habitat. Research and analysis of information gathered regarding critical habitat for Sprague’s Pipit have advanced since the posting of the final Recovery Strategy for this species in 2008, allowing partial identification of critical habitat.
  • Revising the Schedule of Studies to identify critical habitat as a number of studies are still required before critical habitat identification can be completed.
  • Revising Environment Canada’s timelines of the action planning for the Sprague's Pipit.
