Species at Risk Stewardship Program (SARSP)
Description
The Species at Risk Stewardship Program (SARSP) supports strong environmental stewardship by funding a diversity of projects that help protect and recover Ontario’s species at risk. These projects are led by individuals, communities and groups across the province.
- Improve the status of species at risk and their habitats by supporting stewardship and recovery actions;
- Support stewardship and multi-partner approaches to species at risk protection and recovery;
- Support community outreach, and the provision of related tools and techniques to inspire and enable people to become involved in species at risk stewardship; and,
- Address important needs and knowledge gaps related to the protection, recovery and management of species at risk and their habitats in Ontario by supporting scientific research
In Ontario, the status of species are assessed by a team of independent experts known as the Committee on the Status of Species at Risk in Ontario (“COSSARO”) and, when assessed as at-risk, are placed on the Species at Risk in Ontario List.
The Species at Risk in Ontario List [1] is contained in a regulation (“O. Reg. 230/08”) made under the Endangered Species Act, 2007 (“ESA”). O. Reg. 230/08 (including species lists and status) is available on the Province of Ontario’s E-laws website [2] and on ontario.ca [3].
