Core Position: Wildlife decisions must be based on transparent, independent science.
Key Asks:
- Allow for/encourage multiple independent data sources beyond provincial government data sets when making wildlife decisions
- Improved data access and vetting procedures
- Clarity on ambiguous and/or outdated terms within the Act (e.g., critical wildlife habitat, wildlife harassment, hunting expedition, ownership of/rights to wildlife)
- Transparent process for reconciling conflicting data sources (government, industry, Indigenous).
- Define minimum standards for wildlife inventory and monitoring
