Abstract
"Species at risk conservation in Canada is a joint responsibility involving the provinces, territories, and the federal government. New Brunswick was a leader in species at risk conservation in 1976 when it was one of the first provinces to have a specific endangered species legislation. Since that time, a National Accord has been signed that describes how the federal, provincial and territorial governments will cooperate to conserve species at risk. The objective of species at risk laws is to prevent the loss of species due to human activities so that our children and grandchildren can have the same opportunities we have today to enjoy and benefit from the plants and animals that currently live in New Brunswick and in Canada."
