Comment
- The government having discernment of which species are categorized as protected or not fully undermines the purpose of having an independent decision-maker like the COSSARO.
- Budgeting for development is facilitated by clear legal requirements to plan and enact and follow-up on recovery strategies and management plans. Leaving this up to the ministry to cherry pick when and where it will be needed and enforced will increase uncertainty of budgets and/or decrease efficacy and follow-through on environmental management and strategies.
