Description of the Western Painted Turtle, Pacific Coast population, critical habitat in the Alaksen National Wildlife Area

The Western Painted Turtle (Chrysemis picta bellii), Pacific Coast population is a relatively large-bodied painted turtle and is listed as threatened on Schedule 1 of the Species at Risk Act. In Canada, the Pacific Coast population of the Western Painted Turtle occurs entirely in British Columbia, and can currently be found in four areas of southwestern British Columbia. Habitat requirements for the Western Painted Turtle include both aquatic habitat (for breeding, foraging, basking, overwintering, and movement) and surrounding terrestrial habitat (for nesting, basking, and movement) to complete life history functions.

The latest recovery strategy for the Western Painted Turtle, Pacific Coast population identifies the critical habitat for the species in a number of areas, including within a federally protected area.

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to subsection 58(2) of the Species at Risk Act, subsection 58(1) of that Act applies, 90 days after this publication, to the critical habitat of the Western Painted Turtle, Pacific Coast population identified in the recovery strategy for this species — included on the Species at Risk Public Registry — that is found within the Alaksen National Wildlife Area, described in Schedule 1 of the Wildlife Area Regulations made pursuant to the Canada Wildlife Act.

Interested parties are invited to contact Environment and Climate Change Canada by email at ec.protectionep-sarprotection.ec@canada.ca to request clarifications regarding the location, biophysical attributes, and protection of this species' critical habitat.
