Abstract

Under section 3, the purpose of this Act is to protect the biological diversity of fauna and flora within the Province and the relationship between such fauna and flora and the environment by protecting, conserving and managing lands that, are representative of ecosystems or natural landscapes within the Province, contain unique or unusual assemblages of fauna or flora, contain unique or rare examples of botanical, zoological, pedological or geological phenomena, or contain ecosystems that have been altered by humans and that offer opportunities for the study of the recovery of the ecosystems from such alteration while providing opportunities for public access to those lands or portions of those lands for outdoor recreational activities, educational activities and scientific research that have minimal environmental impact. The Act defines the procedure for the establishment of protected natural areas and regulates their management and use.
