Once a species is listed as extirpated, endangered, or threatened, it becomes illegal to harm or damage its habitat. However, delays are causing concerns about the effectiveness of the act.

AI analysis

The delays in SARA protections are a systemic issue that has persisted for nearly two decades. This is particularly concerning given the accelerating impacts of climate change and human disturbance on wildlife populations. Delays can have irreversible consequences, especially for aquatic species which fare worst under current conditions.

Where this goesSpeculative7%this year

The delays in implementing protections for endangered species under Canada's Species at Risk Act (SARA) are likely to have significant negative impacts on wildlife populations.
