Saskatchewan has released the Biodiversity Action Plan, which will guide the conservation actions of all government sectors through to 2009.  A key concept of biodiversity is that every living thing, including people, has a connection to every other living thing and its environment. 

Maintaining the province's biodiversity for now and into the future will take planning, cooperation and commitment from the public, special interest groups and the government.  Biodiversity conservation will never be complete, but instead will continue to evolve and grow as time passes and our resource needs and ecological understanding increase.  A healthy environment is considered the key component of a foundation for a green and prosperous economy.

This document has been prepared for the second phase of public consultation on Saskatchewan’s Biodiversity Action Plan. The proposed plan includes a vision for biodiversity conservation, statement of principles, five goals and 15 priority objectives and associated actions. An electronic response questionnaire is provided to facilitate public feedback.
