• Mount Arrowsmith^[5] is the largest mountain on southern Vancouver Island. It has some of the most accessible alpine and sub-alpine areas for Victoria and other large towns on the Island. These zones contain several rare and endangered species of plants and animals, the most notable of which is theVancouver Island Marmot, which has the dubious distinction of being Canada's rarest mammal. Although the mountain is contained within aUNESCO Biosphere Reserve it is not part of a park. Efforts are currently underway to confer official park status on the alpine areas of the Arrowsmith massif and surrounding areas.^{[citation needed]}
