Carden Field Naturalists…

Carden Field Naturalists does not support the government’s plan to proceed with implementing the Fund. It will lead to an increase in habitat loss and degradation, a primary threat to most of the Fund species. Insofar as the Fund circumvents the overall benefit standard, it works against the protection and recovery of at-risk species. It fails to account for adverse environmental, cultural and economic impacts on communities or for significant additional risks to species already threatened with extinction. It also fails to ensure transparency with respect to site-specific and cumulative harm to the habitat of at-risk species.
