Registry of Protected Areas in Quebec
These themes present the compilation of protected areas in Quebec. They also include the territories of importance. Protected areas comprise a variety of different legal or administrative designations. Territories registered on the Registry of Protected Areas must meet the definition of protected area in the Natural Heritage Conservation Act (NCPA; CQLR, chapter C-61.01) or the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) definition. The definition of the NCPA is “A protected area is a land, terrestrial or aquatic, geographically delimited, whose legal framework and administration specifically aim to ensure the protection and maintenance of biological diversity and associated natural and cultural resources.” While IUCN defines it as “a clearly defined, recognized, dedicated and managed geographical space, by any effective legal or other means, for the long-term conservation of nature and associated ecosystem services and cultural values”. A territory of importance for conservation is a geographically delimited territory, for which the Ministère de l'Environnement et de la Fight Against Climate Change (MELCC) or an authority of the Government of Quebec has expressed its intention to prioritize its allocation for protected areas.
