THE SPECIES AT RISK ACT AND YOU

All Canadians have a shared responsibility to protect species at risk and ensure healthy ecosystems for future generations.

The way in which the Species at Risk Act will affect you will vary depending on the activities in which you or your organization are involved and the species at risk that may be affected by these activities.

For general information on how SARA may affect you, please see the SARA and You guide, which provides an overview of how species are listed, what is prohibited under SARA, where and when those prohibitions apply and how you can learn more.
