Species at Risk Act (SARA) Consultations - Pacific Region

Consultation is an integral part of the Species at Risk Act (SARA). Given that SARA emphasizes and relies on public, First Nations and stakeholder engagement and participation, it is vital that DFO undertakes meaningful consultations with a variety of groups for several aspects of the SARA process.

DFO is guided in its approach to consultation by provisions under the:

• Species at Risk Act
• Canada-British Columbia Agreement on Species at Risk
• Cabinet Directive on Streamlining Regulation

There are two main stages for which consultations are undertaken: listing and recovery planning. Please click on the links below to receive more information or provide feedback on species involved in either of these stages.
