Hello

There will be a provincial election in Nova Scotia within
the next year - probably sooner than later.

In order to bring conservation issues to the fore in the
election, the NS chapter of the Canadian Parks & Wilderness 
Society (CPAWS-NS) has assigned one or more "species in 
trouble" to each electoral riding.  Candidates for election 
have been informed of the list.

CPAWS-NS is now looking for people who will start asking
the candidates:

"If you get elected, what will you do to make sure the
[riding species] is secure?"

"If your party forms the government, what will you do to
protect all of the province's biodiversity?" [as illustrated
by the whole list of species].

The species list, with additional notes, as well as the 
letter to electoral candidates can be found at:

If you would like to be a riding contact person, please email:

willison@dal.ca
