2008,Animalia,Amphibian,Dicamptodon tenebrosus,Pacific Giant Salamander,G5,Red,Red,S2,S2,No change: Wildlife Habitat Areas (WHA) have been established for many of the element occurrences which should downgrade the threats. However until there has been monitoring to determine the effectiveness of WHAs in aleviating the threats this can not be factored in.,NAN,NAN,,NAN,NAN,,,Neither
2008,Animalia,Amphibian,Plethodon idahoensis,Coeur d'Alene Salamander,G4,Blue,Yellow,S3,S4,"There have been new locations found, expanding the range and numbers of this species. It has now been found on the west side of Upper Arrow Lake, which significantly opens up the number of potential sites for this species. There is an estimate that only ~ 10% of the potential available locations have been searched for this species (Ohanjanian pers. comm.).  This is a change in knowledge. There also have been 29 Wildlife Habitat Areas established with an aim to help minimize logging threats, however these have not yet been monitored to determine if they will provide effective protection.",NAN,NAN,Down,0.333333333,NAN,1,Down,Neither
2008,Animalia,Amphibian,Ascaphus montanus,Rocky Mountain Tailed Frog,G4,Red,Red,S1,S2,"The change to S2  is partly methodological. S2 better reflects the current ranking methodology.  Threats to breeding habitat and non-breeding reaches below natal areas have been potentially reduced due to the protection afforded by the establishment of 19 Wildlife Habitat Areas. Although these cover all known occurrences, monitoring is required to determine their effectiveness.",NAN,NAN,,NAN,NAN,1,Down,Neither
2008,Animalia,Amphibian,Ascaphus truei,Coastal Tailed Frog,G4,Blue,Blue,S3S4,S3S4,"No change: Wildlife Habitat Areas (WHA) have been established for many of the element occurrences which should downgrade the threats.

2008,Animalia,Amphibian,Rana sylvatica,Wood Frog,G5,Yellow,Yellow,S5,S4,"A review of the potential threats to this species bumped this one to S4. This species breeds in smaller, shallow waterbodies which may be more susceptible to predicted summer droughts (drier earlier, potentially prior to metamorphosis). A large portion of their BC range lies within areas affected by Mountain Pine Beetle, therefore the potential effects of logging and pesticide use are threats.",NAN,NAN,,NAN,NAN,-1,Up,Neither
2008,Animalia,Amphibian,Spea intermontana,Great Basin Spadefoot,G5,Blue,Blue,S3,S3,"No change: Inventory in the Cariboo has found more locations of this species which also increased its range; however due to the increase in threats in the southern portion of the range, it remained as an S3.",NAN,NAN,,NAN,NAN,,,Neither

2008,Animalia,Mammal,Sorex rohweri,Olympic Shrew,G4G5,,Red,SNR,S1,"New. Sorex rohweri is described on the basis of a series of specimens from western Washington and southwestern British Columbia. Previously this species has been misidentified as Sorex cinereus. It is distinguished from S. cinereus by numerous morphological characters.

In the Okanagan, habitat loss (loss of numerous small lakes and ponds from recent extended droughts) has probably destroyed not only these turtle populations but connectivity between the populations that remain. In addition, there is a significant loss of wetlands due to filling and draining to increase land for cultivation and development. Roadkill also remains a significant threat.
