Abstract

The purposes of the present Act are to prevent wildlife species from being extirpated from the Province, to provide for the recovery of wildlife species that are extirpated, endangered or threatened as a result of human activity and to conserve species of special concern to prevent them from becoming endangered or threatened. Section 3 establishes that in preparing or adopting a management plan, a recovery strategy or an action plan, and in undertaking a protection assessment, the Minister shall consider the principle that, if there is a threat of serious or irreversible damage to a wildlife species, lack of full scientific certainty shall not be used as a reason for postponing cost effective measures to avoid or minimize the threat. Section 4 deals with rights of aboriginal peoples. The text consists of 84 sections and 1 Schedule.
