Protected natural areas

A Protected Natural Area (PNA) is a sanctuary set aside for its unusual or significant local characteristics. Logging is prohibited in all PNAs. Six of the more than 200 PNAs are Class I, allowing access only for scientific research and education and requiring a permit to visit; the remainder are Class II, allowing hunting, fishing, snaring, and light recreational activities like hiking and camping. PNAs sometimes overlap provincial game refuges and wildlife management areas. With the proclamation of the ''Protected Natural Areas Act'' in 2003, 30 existing conservation and ecological areas were converted to PNAs, 20 Class I and 10 Class II. In 2008 most Class I PNAs were downgraded and more than thirty new reserves were added, with two existing PNAs merged and another one split. More than 140 new PNAs were set aside in 2014 by the outgoing Alward government.

Provincial wildlife areas

The ''Wildlife Refuges and Wildlife Management Areas Regulation - Fish and Wildlife Act'' governs the province's game refuges and wildlife management areas. Hunting and trapping are prohibited in these areas.
