The Department of Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) is the Canadian equivalent to both the US Fish & Wildlife Service and the Environmental Protection Agency, and like the US agencies, ECCC is responsible for the protection and conservation of both the environment and wildlife for future generations. As a Law Enforcement Specialist and Operations Manager for ECCC, Martin Thabault’s responsibilities can extend from the Artic, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans to the longest undefended border in the world.

Here’s what we discuss:

What is the Wildlife Enforcement branch of Environment & Climate Change Canada?

Martin’s background and path to Ottawa

ECCC Wildlife Enforcement branch currently has nearly 100 officers

Main mandate is illegal wildlife trade and protection of migratory birds

ECCC also acts as a safety net for the protection of endangered species 

Officers in remote areas can deal with both environmental and wildlife enforcement

Where’s Nunavut?

A duck baiting case in Quebec

Business was charged multiple times

Illegal logging and the import business

Identifying and sampling European eels; “a bit of a grey and slimy area.”

The value of sharing knowledge and experience

Working in coordination with US officers is beneficial to both agencies

Adapting to new and emerging technologies can be challenging
