Progress report : marten re-introduction to Terra Nova National Park / M.C. Bateman ; prepared for Parks Canada by the Canadian Wildlife Service, Atlantic Region.: CW66-677/1984E-PDF
"The American marten (Marten americana) at one time occurred throughout the four Atlantic provinces, but its range has recently been restricted to northern New Brunswick, Labrador and a few locations in Nova Scotia and insular Newfoundland. It is considered extirpated from the fauna of six of the seven National Parks of the Atlantic Region. In April, 1980, Parks Canada Atlantic Region initiated a program to determine if habitat suitable for marten was present in Atlantic Region National Parks, and to re-introduce marten to any Parks capable of supporting a population. Evaluation of available habitat in all Atlantic Region Parks resulted in recommendations for re-introduction of marten to Terra Nova and Fundy National Parks. Accidental catches of marten by trappers just outside Cape Breton Highlands National Park suggested that a small population of marten occurs in that Park"--Introduction, page [1].
