Note: See habitat joint ventures websites and implementations plans, along with  the annual Habitat Matters publication for further details on each region. A review of the NAWMP tracking system has led to adjustments of annual securement totals for each joint venture. As a result, annual cumulative habitat secured for each region may differ from other published reports. In past years the indicator has not included the Western Boreal Forest region due to a review of the WBF program. While the review is still ongoing the WBF has been included in this year’s indicator to provide a more complete overview of securement under the NAWMP in Canada.
