Analyze the map data for Banff

Using the Extirpation knowledge point

• Locate the dot labeled "Banff" on the map, situated in southwestern Alberta near the British Columbia border.
• Observe that the Banff area is colored pink, which the legend defines as "Approximate historical range."
• Note that there is no green ("Current range") or grey ("Trace occurrences") shading remaining in the Banff area.

Determine the conservation status

Using the Extirpation knowledge point

• Since mountain caribou historically existed in Banff but are no longer found in their current range there, they are locally extinct from that specific geographic area.
• The term for a species that no longer exists in a specific wild area but still exists elsewhere in the world is "extirpated."
