About the Data
BC Species and Ecosystems Explorer provides conservation status, taxonomic, and distribution information for vertebrate animals, vascular plants, mosses, butterflies, dragonflies, damselflies, tiger beetles, non-marine molluscs and many ecological communities in British Columbia.
BC Species and Ecosystems Explorer represents a "snapshot" of dynamic data that are continually being refined by the BC Conservation Data Centre (CDC). BC Species and Ecosystems Explorer is updated from the CDC database several times a year to reflect new data from refined geographic surveys, and the latest taxonomic treatments. Conservation status assessments are reviewed annually, and any resulting changes to provincial ranks and list status values are updated in BC Species and Ecosystems Explorer early each year. Data for additional taxonomic groups and ecological communities can be expected in subsequent years. In the mean time, you may contact the CDC for information on any species and ecological communities at risk in British Columbia.
Conservation Status and Taxomony Data most recently updated: April, 2008.
