Nature Canada (BirdLife in Canada), together with other national conservation organisations, state that the federal government is failing to adequately implement the Species at Risk Act by not identifying critical habitat in recovery planning documents for Piping Plover.

Loss or degradation of habitat is the single greatest cause of all species endangerment in Canada but the Species at Risk Act protects habitat only if it is identified. Though the Piping Plover strategy cites a lack of knowledge as the basis for not identifying critical habitat, the groups say this is false.

The lawsuit was filed as leaders from across Canada gathered this week for the first Minister's Round Table under the Species at Risk Act.
