What defines an endangered species legally?
I was reading the marchandises you can bring back to Canada list after a travel and there’s the obvious section about the fact that you cannot bring back endangered species parts. But they don’t define what they consider to be an endangered species, so what are they?
Are they only the species listed in the species at risk act and the CITES ? Or does it also include the species in the migratory bird convention act or any other conservation legislation ? Would a not endangered species of migratory bird count?
I couldn’t find the text of law explaining that part and I would be happy to look at it with more details.
Edit : just to make it clear I’m not looking for a loophole I just want to understand vague laws that aren’t using the same terminology.
