Under the Accord for the Protection of Species at Risk (1996), the federal, provincial, and territorial governments agreed to work together on legislation, programs, and policies to protect wildlife species at risk throughout Canada.
In the spirit of cooperation of the Accord, the Government of British Columbia has given permission to the Government of Canada to adopt the Management Plan for the Painted Turtle – Intermountain – Rocky Mountain population (Chrysemys picta pop. 2) in British Columbia (Part 2) under section 69 of the Species at Risk Act (SARA). Environment and Climate Change Canada has included a federal addition (Part 1) which completes the SARA requirements for this management plan.
The federal management plan for the Western Painted Turtle Intermountain – Rocky Mountain population in Canada consists of two parts:
Part 1 – Federal Addition to the Management Plan for the Painted Turtle – Intermountain – Rocky Mountain population (Chrysemys picta pop. 2) in British Columbia, prepared by Environment and Climate Change Canada.
Part 2 – Management Plan for the Painted Turtle – Intermountain – Rocky Mountain population (Chrysemys picta pop. 2) in British Columbia, prepared by the British Columbia Ministry of Environment.
