Last modified: June 2, 2009 - 12:16 AM
Council has a responsibility to protect and restore threatened species populations through sensitive planning and participation in population recovery programs.
The Great Lakes is home to 16 threatened plants, 82 threatened animals, 2 endangered populations and 8 endangered ecological communities. Consequently, Council has a legal responsibility to consider the protection and management of these species in its decisions and activities. Furthermore, Council has key responsibilities, with other agencies and organisations, to assist in the recovery and management of identified threatened species. Consequently considerations are made in all strategic and development planning stages to protect threatened species where present.
