Policy on protecting critical habitat with conservation agreements under section 11 of the Species at Risk Act . : CW66-533/2016E-PDF

"Section 11 of the Species at Risk Act (‘SARA’, the Act) authorizes a competent minister to enter into a conservation agreement to benefit a species at risk or enhance its survival in the wild. The agreement must provide for the taking of conservation measures consistent with the purposes of the Act, and may include measures with respect to protecting the species’ habitat, including its critical habitat. Sections 58 and 61 of the Act indicate that a section 11 agreement can serve as a mechanism to protect critical habitat. Further to the draft Policy on the Protection of Critical Habitat on Non-Federal Lands, this document provides a policy statement, and the criteria that will be applied to determine whether or not a particular section 11 agreement protects critical habitat under sections 58 or 61 of the Act”--p. 1.
