Common use of RANGEWIDE DISTRIBUTION Clause in Contracts

RANGEWIDE DISTRIBUTION. ‌ Historically, the xxxxxx occurred throughout the boreal and temperate forests of North America and its range included southern Canada and most of the northern states as well as peninsular areas that extend south through the eastern states, the northern Rocky Mountains, and the Pacific states (Figure 1). The extirpation of fishers from much of the southern portion of their range that occurred from the late 1800s to the early 1900s resulted in range contraction to ~43% of its historical extent. Efforts to reintroduce fishers in vacant portions of the historical range and improved management of resident xxxxxx populations resulted in xxxxxx recovery and an expansion of the current range to approximately 68% of its historical extent (Figure 1; Xxxxx et al. 2012).
