I think when you're talking about particular species and the land protections that are going to come along with SARA, the Species at Risk Act, it's about understanding the populations of the animal before contact. It's about taking into consideration the cultural uses for that animal, thinking about the different land uses that come into play for that particular animal and having somebody, a community, that has a deep knowledge of that land. A land-based perspective is critical, as opposed to officials or scientists who may parachute in and use sound data. Weave together those two approaches to data collection to make decisions about this animal.
I think it's also critical to consider what that community will be facing in the aftermath of coming in and putting in land protections, because oftentimes an indigenous community can be blamed for land use restrictions. The harms they can face when that comes into play are often not considered and must be considered.
