Yukon Conservation Data Centre’s
Animal Watch List
Updated June 2015
This is a list of animals for which more information is needed before a conservation status can be determined, but which may be threatened
or endangered in Yukon or throughout their range. The Yukon Conservation Data Centre is not mapping these species in our database at this
time but may eventually place some of these species on the Track List while others will be removed from the lists as more information
regarding their populations becomes available. For a list of species that we would like people to report to us, please see the Reportable
Species section of our website
