Recovery documents for species and ecosystems at risk in B.C. are accepted by the provincial government as science advice. The table below contains direct links to view both provincially and federally produced recovery plans.

They can also be found by searching the databases of the lead government who published the document:

Provincial: Environmental Information Resources System (EIRS)
Federal: Species at Risk Public Registry

More information about these species can also be found in the BC Species & Ecosystems Explorer.

Provincial wildlife stewardship frameworks and regional wildlife stewardship plans for priority species (wildlife species with generally secure populations that have cultural or social significance and/or are hunted or trapped) can be found on the Wildlife Stewardship Planning Documents page.
