Migratory Bird Sanctuaries
Migratory Bird Sanctuaries (MBS) are also under the jurisdiction of the Canadian Wildlife Service. They support at least 1% of a population of a migratory bird species or subspecies, and they may consist of federal, provincial, and/or private lands.
The Migratory Birds Convention Act and Migratory Bird Sanctuary Regulations prohibit disturbance of migratory birds, their eggs, and their nests within a MBS. The regulations also prohibit disturbance of migratory bird habitat when a Migratory Bird Sanctuary is established on federal Crown land. Migratory Bird Sanctuaries do not protect habitat or species of wildlife other than migratory birds.
