Management of Canadian Ramsar sites / compiled by C.D.A. Rubec.: CW66-666/1994E-PDF
"Ramsar designated sites are an important component of Canada's wetland conservation strategy implemented through the combined cooperative efforts of government and nongovernment partners across the nation. This report summarizes the status of the management planning process on each Ramsar site in Canada. During the 1981 to 1994 period, 32 of the world's 650 or so wetland sites of international importance have been designated in Canada. Our Canadian Ramsar sites comprise about one third of the total wetland area designated globally. Hence, Canada has a special interest in ensuring adequate securement, conservation and management of these wetlands both from a national and international perspective. Canadian Ramsar sites also form a significant portion of the network of important wetlands vital to wildlife across North America shared with the United States and Mexico. The Secretariat of the North American Wetlands Conservation Council (Canada) and the Water and Habitat Conservation Branch of the Canadian Wildlife Service, Environment Canada have cooperated in the synthesis of information and production of this national overview report"--Preface, page v.
