Description: Locations of globally rare plants (ranked G1 or G2 by Natureserve) in the Northwest Territories that are also ranked May Be at Risk by the NWT General Status Ranking program. Includes Drummond bluebell, Raup's willow, Mackenzie hairgrass and Banks Island alkali grass. Note that hairy braya (Braya pilosa) and Nahanni Aster (Symphotrichum nahanniense) are also ranked G1 but are not shown because they have been assessed as a Species at Risk in NWT and/or Canada and therefore have their own range maps. Developed for ENR/EC joint Species at Risk in the NWT booklet. Locations updated November 22, 2013 by Joanna Wilson. Shapefile modified to remove Nahanni Aster on February 19, 2015. One possible site for Mackenzie hairgrass (species identification requires verification) was added by Joanna Wilson on December 1, 2015. Four additional sites for Drummond Bluebell were added in November 2019.One additional site for Drummond Bluebell was added in October 2022.
