GOVERNMENT SEEKING PUBLIC INPUT ON BIODIVERSITY PLAN

Released on October 16, 2002

The provincial government is looking for comments on its proposed

Biodiversity Action Plan, which focuses on conserving the province's

environment.



"Biological diversity is the source of natural wealth for this province,"

Environment Minister Buckley Belanger said. "Healthy soil, productive

forests and grasslands and clean air and water are some of the benefits of

a healthy environment. If we manage these resources wisely they will

continue to support us. The cost of fixing environmental problems in the

future, assuming that we can, will be more expensive than acting now to

conserve biodiversity."



Biodiversity includes all species of plants and animals and how they

interact with and rely on one another for survival and interact with their

environment. The challenge is to find a balance between conserving

biodiversity and making use of our natural resources.



Saskatchewan's Biodiversity Action Plan is intended to build on the

nationally developed Canadian Biodiversity Strategy and on the actions of

industry and individuals. It focuses on what governments can do to make

sure that we conserve biodiversity and use biological resources in a

sustainable manner.



The plan, "Caring for Saskatchewan's Natural Environments: A Proposed

Biodiversity Action Plan" is available for review. The public is invited

to submit written comments on the report by December 30th, 2002.

Throughout November, several public information meetings will be held

across the province.



Meeting dates are: Regina, November 5th; Saskatoon, November 6th; Prince

Albert, November 13th, and LaRonge, November 14th. Advertisements will be

posted in local newspapers inviting public participation. The Biodiversity

Action Plan and a questionnaire are also available on the Saskatchewan

Environment website at: www.serm.gov.sk.ca/ecosystem/biodiversity/index.htm
