The Minister of the Environment is the competent minister under SARA for the Pale Yellow Dune Moth and has prepared this management plan as per section 65 of SARA. [...] The objective of this management plan is to maintain the persistence of Pale Yellow Dune Moth at all localities identified with a confirmed location, specifically the following dune fields: Buffalo Park, Sounding Lake, and Edgerton in Alberta; Brandon in Manitoba; and Dundurn, Manitou Lake, and Pelican Lake in Saskatchewan; as well as at any additional localities confirmed in the future. [...] The lack of comprehensive surveys throughout the Canadian range of the Pale Yellow Dune Moth, and the poor understanding of its population size and variability, and life history, precludes the development of a quantitative management objective at this time. [...] Populations and Distribution The estimated range of the Pale Yellow Dune Moth (Figure 2) is based on the limited data available since the species was first described in 1874 and encompasses approximately 85 localities in the arid interior of North America (Lafontaine, 2004). [...] Needs of the Pale Yellow Dune Moth Habitat and biological needs Knowledge of the biology and habitat needs of the Pale Yellow Dune Moth is poor.
