The National Aboriginal Council on Species At Risk meets to discuss the administration of the Species at Risk Act which includes species assessment, recovery, management and action planning. The council is particularly concerned with the listing of species under SARA that affect Aboriginal rights and treaty rights across Canada. There have been a number of species that the council have received presentations on and have discussed. If your community would like NACOSAR to address issues in your region on a particular species please send us an email on the Contact Us page.
