A brief overview of the history of protected areas in Newfoundland and Labrador. The introduction and need for potent legislation – The Wilderness and Ecological Reserves Act. Initial successes were followed by ongoing avoidance by the provincial government. The urgent need for environmental protection now.
Bill Montevecchi is a Professor Emeritus and John Lewis Paton Distinguished University Professor in Psychology, Biology, and Ocean Sciences at Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador. He and his students investigate seabird responses to environmental change and perturbation. We engage in environmental assessments and use science-based evidence to evaluate, design and mitigate government and corporate regulatory processes.
