Species at Risk Act (SARA)

The Species at Risk Act (SARA) is a Canadian law designed to protect endangered or threatened wildlife and their habitats. It aims to prevent species from disappearing entirely by providing a legal framework for conservation efforts. SARA identifies at-risk species, suggests recovery strategies, and involves governments, Indigenous communities, and the public in protection efforts. It also regulates activities that could harm these species or their habitats, ensuring that biodiversity is preserved for future generations. Overall, SARA is crucial for promoting healthy ecosystems and maintaining Canada’s natural heritage.
