Species at Risk Act

The Species at Risk Act (SARA) is a Canadian law designed to protect endangered and threatened wild species and their habitats. It aims to prevent these species from becoming extinct and to promote their recovery. SARA identifies at-risk species, outlines measures for their protection, and ensures cooperation with provinces, territories, and stakeholders. By emphasizing conservation, SARA helps maintain Canada’s rich biodiversity, ensuring that future generations can enjoy its natural heritage. The act also supports research and public awareness to foster understanding and action towards species protection.
