Court orders N.S. government to better protect endangered species | CBC News
A group of environmental advocates launched a judicial review in January 2019, alleging a slew of failures under the Endangered Species Act dating back to the early 2000s. The case went to a hearing for two days last fall.
There
were 60 species listed as endangered, threatened or vulnerable when the
judicial review began, but the case narrowed in on six “representative”
species — the Canada warbler and eastern wood peewee, both songbirds;
the black ash and ram’s head lady slipper, both plants; the wood turtle
and the iconic mainland moose.
