Brief Overview of the SARA Minister’s Round Table
The Species at Risk Act (SARA) requires that, at least every two years, the federal Minister of the Environment convene a round table of persons interested in matters respecting the protection of wildlife species at risk in Canada.
This fourth SARA round table was held in Ottawa on October 19, 2012 and involved representatives from Aboriginal groups, non-governmental organizations, industry associations, and academia.
The discussion focused on taking stock of SARA during its first 10 years of implementation. Diverse views were welcomed on what has worked well in the implementation of the Act, what some of the challenges have been, and suggestions to address those challenges.
