NEW PROTECTED ANIMALS: The barn swallow, the snapping turtle, the tri-coloured bat and the black ash tree are among the newest additions to the province’s growing list of protected plants and animals. Nineteen new species were added today, July 11, bringing the total to 60 species on the protected list. “These additions are a first step in identifying and protecting new species at risk,” said Natural Resources Minister Charlie Parker. “Everyone has a role to play in their recovery, especially landowners and others who may have direct contact with these species.”
