Legislating Conservation: Challenges and Opportunities

October 31, 2014

I know…this report on Dr. Ted Morton’s November 2014 Martha Kostuch Lecture was almost as long in coming as the major landuse legislation passed by Ed Stelmach’s Progressive Conservative government in 2009. Morton ushered that law, the Alberta Land Stewardship Act (ALSA), through the legislature. The former minister recounted to a full house at Hillhurst Cottage School last November how he regards that law as one important success of his tenure as Sustainable Resource Development Minister.

Ted Morton – 2014 Martha Kostuch Annual Wilderness and Wildlife Lecture

When citizens and their representatives in government fail to place a high value on wilderness as a resource in itself, then its disappearance – especially in reasonably accessible locations – is swift and certain.
