COSEWIC assesses the status of s= pecies, based on their biology and the threats they face, but the species d= on=92t get protected under the Species at Risk Act until the government lis= ts them =97 and the government can factor social and economic consideration= s into its decision. The species that Cindy is talking about (and a few others) are all listed u= nder the Act (which triggers some legal protection and recovery action). Ea= stern Wood-pewee has been assessed but isn=92t listed yet (same for Bobolin= k, Eastern Meadowlark, Wood Thrush, and Barn and Bank Swallows). The distinction usually doesn=92t matter (and hasn=92t yet for birds), but = it can when the government=92s slow to list species (it=92s been > 2 years = since COSEWIC did an emergency assessment of those bats ravaged by white no= se syndrome) or when a species is politically thorny (very few marine fishe= s assessed by COSEWIC have gone on to be listed).
