WCS Canada Comments on the Draft Policy on Assessing Imminent Threats Under SARA
WCS Canada scientists comment on the Draft Policy on Assessing Imminent Threats under Sections 29 and 80 of the Species at Risk Act – terrestrial species. We outline three overarching concerns: 1) it does not clearly establish a robust and proactive science-based process of information gathering and analysis to provide advice to the Minister; 2) it lacks a clear definition of “imminent threat” and 3) it contains a weak articulation and apparent conception of “measures” to address imminent threat.
