Any plant or animal that is vulnerable to
extinction, or is at risk of disappearing from lands or waters
in Canada is a species at risk. The Ontario Government is
reviwing its Endangered Species Act, and has contacted the
mno to assist in formulating recommendations on matters of
importance to Métis citizens. The mno participates, through
the Métis National Council, in the work of the National Aboriginal
Committee on Species at Risk (NACOSAR).
