M. Crowley<br />
This guide is for everyone interested in conserving <strong>and</strong> protecting the freshw<strong>at</strong>er <strong>and</strong> wetl<strong>and</strong><br />
habit<strong>at</strong>s in Nova Scotia. Although there is a focus on the species <strong>at</strong> risk th<strong>at</strong> depend on these<br />
habit<strong>at</strong>s, these practices are good to follow no m<strong>at</strong>ter where you live <strong>and</strong> who you share your l<strong>and</strong><br />
with. <strong>Species</strong> <strong>at</strong> risk can act as umbrella species for habit<strong>at</strong>s <strong>and</strong> ecosystems. By following the<br />
actions in this guide you will not only help to protect the species th<strong>at</strong> are in danger of being lost<br />
from our province but all the cre<strong>at</strong>ures in Nova Scotia, including ourselves!<br />
