 From The Chronicle Herald this morning:

"A Nova Scotia Supreme Court judge has identified “long-term, systemic 
failures” by the provincial government to fulfill its legal obligations 
to protect vulnerable and endangered species.

Justice Christa M. Brothers, in a written decision issued Friday, cited 
“a suite of failures of government” that breached the provincial 
Endangered Species Act.

Wildlife biologist Robert Bancroft and the group he heads, the 
Federation of Nova Scotia Naturalists, joined Blomidon Naturalists 
Society and the Halifax Field Naturalists in filing a court application 
against the provincial Lands and Forestry Department that was heard by 
Brothers on Sept. 23 and Oct. 1."
