Recognize the need for intact habitat to support animal populations and biodiversity.
SI, CP, DM
Indicators for this outcome
| (a) | Justify the need for habitat protection and restoration in terms of biodiversity (e.g., genetic diversity, species diversity and habitat diversity) and resilience within ecosystems both locally and globally. (K) |
| (b) | Describe examples of First Nations and Métis people's contributions in recognizing the effects of natural and human- caused changes to habitat on historical migration patterns of animals in Saskatchewan. (STSE, A) |
| (c) | Examine how habitat management and protection decisions are influenced by the extent to which Indigenous land rights (e.g., custodians of the land versus individual land ownership) are reflected through the spirit and intent of various treaties. (K, STSE, A) |
| (d) | Explain the roles of individuals, governmental and non- governmental organizations such as the Saskatchewan Prairie Conservation Action Plan, Ducks Unlimited and the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC), and legislation such as the Species at Risk Act (SARA) in protecting and maintaining habitats and biodiversity. (A) |
| (e) | Relate an organism's specific adaptations and behaviour to its niche in an ecosystem. (K) |
| (f) | Correlate the range and habitat of various animals with Saskatchewan's ecozones and ecoregions and identify changes to an animal's range and habitat due to human activities such as agriculture, mining, oil and gas development, forestry, urbanization and recreation. (K) |
| (g) | Discuss the implications of the competitive exclusion principle with respect to animals and plants in an ecosystem, including the introduction of invasive species and the potential for shifting ecozones due to climate change. (K) |
| (h) | Evaluate the importance of a keystone species in a specific terrestrial ecosystem. (S) |
| (i) | Assess current or potential impacts of a changing climate on a specific representative animal and its habitat. (S) |
