WCS Canada Comments on the Draft Policy on Assessing Imminent Threats Under SARA
Ray, J. & Kraus, D.
Abstract
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.
