Canadian Species at Risk Act

The Canadian Species at Risk Act (SARA) is a law that aims to protect wildlife and plants that are facing threats of extinction in Canada. It identifies species at risk, such as endangered and threatened species, and creates measures to recover and conserve their populations. The Act promotes responsible stewardship, habitat protection, and scientific research to prevent species from disappearing forever. It involves government agencies, Indigenous communities, and stakeholders working together to ensure Canada's biodiversity is maintained for future generations. In essence, SARA helps safeguard Canada's natural heritage by preventing the loss of imperiled species.
