The Ecology Action Centre is deeply concerned about the ecological and democratic implications of restructuring the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in order to “drive economic development.” As part of these changes to DNR, the Houston government abruptly fired seven people and completely eliminated the Wildlife Division at DNR. Managers of biodiversity, managers of ecosystems and habitats and the head of the Wildlife Division all lost their jobs, and Nova Scotia’s wildlife lost its dedicated voice within government. 

The Ecology Action Centre is deeply disappointed by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador’s decision to withdraw from the Memorandum of Understanding for the South Coast Fjords National Marine Conservation Area feasibility study.
