Wildlife

Saskatchewan's abundant and healthy wildlife population is one of the most attractive features of our province.

In this section you will find information about some of the challenges facing us and our wildlife populations and information about how we can work co-operatively to meet these challenges.

		Fish and Wildlife Development Fund (FWDF) The Fish and Wildlife Development Fund (FWDF), with funds derived from fur, hunting and angling licence sales, acts to acquire, protect, monitor, and manage both fish and wildlife resources and habitat throughout Saskatchewan.

		Invader Species Invader species such as whirling disease, zebra mussels, eurasian water milfoil and purple loosestrife have been found in Saskatchewan or pose a real threat of becoming established here.

		Problem Wildlife While wildlife is part of our environment, sometimes when wildlife and humans mix, there can be problems.

		Scientific Permits To monitor plant and animal populations and the activities that affect them, including collections and research.

		Wildlife Diseases

		Wildlife Habitat Protection In 1984, the provincial government initiated a conservation process by passing The Critical Wildlife Habitat Protection Act, now known as The Wildlife Habitat Protection Act (WHPA).

		Wildlife Population Surveys The Fish and Wildlife Branch is responsible for maintaining healthy populations of wildlife in the province. To assist in this, the Fish and Wildlife Branch conducts wildlife surveys throughout the year.
