Climate change. Environmental toxins. Mass extinctions and species at risk. The growing recognition of the fragility of the world's ecosystems and the growing emphasis placed on sustainable development and responsible resource management have placed the environment at the forefront of Canada's social, political and, inevitably, legal agenda. Environmental laws now extend into virtually every area of legal practice – from commercial transactions and corporate takeovers to real estate development and criminal prosecution.
