Book excerpt: Alberta species at risk recovery plans are prepared under the supervision of the Fish and Wildlife Division, Alberta Sustainable Resource Development. The Ord's kangaroo rat (Dipodomys ordii) is a small, nocturnal rodent that is highly adapted to survival in arid environments. In 2002, the Ord's kangaroo rat was listed as endangered under the Wildlife Act in Alberta. The goal of this recovery plan is to ensure a viable, naturally self-sustaining population of Ord's kangaroo rat in Alberta so that this species is no longer at risk of extinction in the province.
