Existing Protection or Other Status Designations
Isoetes bolanderi was previously assessed as Special Concern by COSEWIC and is Sensitive in the Canadian National General Status system. While these statuses provide no direct protection, the existing population is within Waterton Lakes National Park and is protected by the Canada National Parks Act and Regulations. Isoetes bolanderi has been identified as a special feature within Waterton Lakes National Park (Achuff 1997) and is receiving special consideration in planning and environmental assessment.
The global NatureServe ranking for Isoetes bolanderi is G4. It is N1 in Canada and S1 in Alberta (ANHIC 2005).
In the USA, it is N4 overall and is S1 in AZ, S1S2 in the Navajo Nation, S2S3 in WY, and S3 in NV. It is SNR (not ranked) in CA, CO, ID, MT, NM, OR, UT and WA. This lack of a state rank may reflect an absence of information or that it is not considered to be of conservation concern.
