Species at Risk Act (Canada)

The Species at Risk Act (SARA) is Canadian legislation designed to protect and recover species at risk of becoming extinct, such as certain animals, plants, and their habitats. It aims to prevent species from disappearing, promote their recovery, and ensure their long-term survival through measures like habitat protection, management plans, and cooperation with Indigenous and local communities. SARA applies across Canada and involves scientists, government agencies, and stakeholders working together to conserve biodiversity and maintain healthy ecosystems for future generations.
