Environment committee  That's a very good question. My colleague, Jeannette Whitton, listed the major reasons for placing species at risk currently. She didn't mention climate change because, so far, it has not been. Our climate is changing so rapidly and scientists have been able to track the movemen

Environment committee  Thank you for your question. No, I do not at all believe that only applied research is important.

Environment committee  Yes.

Environment committee  Okay, thank you. We must work together—individuals, corporations, and government—to protect habitat, but habitat protection cannot be all that we do. While many species are at risk due to habitat destruction, fragmentation, others are not. Some are at risk because of the toxins

Environment committee  Thank you. My name is Sarah but feel free to call me by my nickname, Sally. Thank you for this opportunity to present my views on habitat protection in Canada. I'm a professor at the University of British Columbia, where I have been teaching biology for nearly two decades now. M
