Species at Risk

The A2A region is home to an extraordinary number of rare species, many of them reptiles and amphibians. 
SPOTLIGHT SPECIES: RED FOX
The grey fox (Urocyon cinereoargentateus) is a small carnivore that reaches its northern range limit in the the Great Lakes area. They are considered a Threatened Species in Ontario and are found reliably only on Pelee Island. However, a few grey foxes are seen each year in The Thousand Islands in the heart of the Algonquin-to-Adirondacks region. Grey foxes live in wooded areas and are therefore an excellent illustration of the importance of A2A in providing a habitat corridor for range expansion in the face of climate change.
