PotashCorp is unaware of any (IUCN) Red List species in areas affected by our operations.
In Saskatchewan, nine wildlife species at risk have breeding ranges that overlap with project areas: piping plover and burrowing owl (endangered); loggerhead shrike and Sprague’s pipit (threatened); and yellow rail, long-billed curlew, short-eared owl, northern leopard frog and Monarch butterfly (species of concern). Our operations have not had known impact on their habitats.
The area near our White Springs plant in Florida is home to species listed by federal or state authorities as endangered, threatened or of special concern. Potential impacts have been comprehensively evaluated for the project area. Wildlife agencies have determined that operations would have no impact on those species, or that impacts could be mitigated by minimizing operations in sensitive habitats, creating new habitats for relocation and raising awareness of potential impacts among workers.
