Saskatchewan’s environment ministry is working alongside the Global Initiative on Ungulate Migration to protect the province’s pronghorn population by reducing threats to their seasonal migration.
The ministry explained that Saskatchewan’s pronghorns “live at the northern edge of their range” and migrate seasonally in order to find food but human activity can interfere with their migration routes, making it difficult for the animals to move and creating risks for their survival.
“Our province is blessed to be part of the pronghorn’s Canadian range,” Darlene Rowden, Saskatchewan’s environment minister, said in a statement.
“In addition to being a sought-after game species, pronghorn viewing has become a popular activity with wildlife enthusiasts, due its iconic status as a native grasslands species.”
