Information in each species list report is current only to the date at which it was published, and this date can be found on each report. As we are frequently updating information in our system, it is advised that you check the SKCDC species lists page for the latest report prior to starting your project.
For more information on how species lists are created, view our page on generating species lists.
Conservation ranks/status are provided for each species. For details on each, refer to the following resources:
Every five years, the National General Status of Species in Canada Working Group produces a report on the status of wild species in Canada. The Wild Species 2020 report included 50,534 species across Canada and found 20% of these species to be at some level of risk of extirpation. The SKCDC is a member of this working group and many of the species and ranks in our lists have been and continue to be updated as a result of this ongoing project. 12,000 Saskatchewan species had ranks assigned in the 2020 report and the SKCDC has completed its incorporation of this information into our database as appropriate. Work for the 2025 report is underway.
