	Wildlife Habitat	Last modified: December 18, 2006
Conserving habitat helps provide food, water and shelter for all species and may contribute to taking some species off the endangered species list.  Saskatchewan Environment is leading the establishment of a network of ecologically important land and water areas across the province.  This system includes national and provincial parks, wildlife refuges, ecological and other reserves in the province and is known as the Representative Areas Network (RAN). The Fish and Wildlife Development Fund is used to secure, monitor and improve both fish and wildlife habitat in Saskatchewan.  The Wildlife Habitat Protection Act is part of the provincial government's response to the challenge of conserving vanishing native ecosystems in the agricultural region of the Province.  Additional information is also available under our ecosystem management pages.
