Government gets an "U" on Species at Risk
Apr 30, 2008
An independent watchdog responsible for auditing the government's performance on all things environmental has released a status report that calls the Feds' green record this year "unsatisfactory".
The Federal Commissioner on the Environment and Sustainable Development's report was particularly critical of the government's work on Species at Risk. The Government gets bad grades on timeliness in creating recovery strategies for these species (fewer than 25% complete) and its failure to identify critical habitat in the strategies they have finished. (fewer than a third met the criteria).
Read the report card on Species at Risk implementation here.
