Who We Are

MULTISAR = Multiple Species at Risk.

MULTISAR is a project delivered by Alberta Conservation Association, Prairie Conservation Forum, and the Government of Alberta that conserves Species at Risk through habitat stewardship, while maintaining viable ranching operations in Alberta’s native grasslands.

We recognize that many of the species and habitats found in Alberta’s grasslands exist because of the positive practices of the ranching community. The MULTISAR program gives ranchers and farmers suitable tools to continue this tradition in modern times. To date, this collaboration between agencies and landholders has resulted in the voluntary stewardship of grassland species on over 1,000,000 acres in southern Alberta.

Species at Risk is a term for plants and animals that are declining or naturally rare in Alberta.
