The files represent: amphibians: 21 reptile species: 17 species terrestrial mammals: 17 species terrestrial mammals: 69 species freshwater and migratory fish species: 118 species The ranges were established on the basis of various sources of information and validated by the Main Directorate of Expertise on Terrestrial Wildlife (DPEFT), the Main Directorate for Threatened or Vulnerable Species (DPEFT), the Main Directorate of Threatened or Vulnerable Species (DPEMV) and the Main Directorate of Expertise on Aquatic Wildlife (DPEFA) of the Ministry of the Environment, the Fight against Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks (MELCCFP). The ranges of species of freshwater and migratory fish are also illustrated in the [“Freshwater Fish of Quebec”] poster (https://cdn-contenu.quebec.ca/cdn-contenu/faune/documents/animaux/affiche-poissons-eau-douce.pdf). Some ranges have changed slightly since they were included in the poster. There may be differences between the ranges of the species presented in the files and the current spatial distribution of the species. The ranges were produced on a small scale, they provide indicative information on the presence of the species in Quebec. The cards are the property of MELCCFP. Atten: The ranges of marine mammals that frequent the coasts of the province of Quebec are not included in this dataset.This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).
