Welcome to the Canadian Wildlife Service's Enforcement Branch Web site.

On this site, you will find information on acts and regulations regarding wildlife, as well as the measures we are taking to ensure their implementation. You will also find information regarding the species protected under this legislation.

Canadian wildlife legislation protects species in Canada, particularly migratory birds. It is also aimed at conserving threatened or potentially threatened species internationally. These laws regulate human intervention, such as hunting or trade, that could adversely affect long-term wildlife conservation.
