Canada Unveils Ambitious Plan to Protect Wildlife: A Force of Nature

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a bold strategy, A Force of Nature, with a $3.8 billion investment to safeguard habitats, restore ecosystems, and boost at-risk species. This aligns with Canadas pledge to protect 30% of lands and waters by 2030, aiming to increase land protection from 14% to 30% and ocean areas from 15% to 28%. The plan funds new marine zones, national parks, and freshwater spots, covering 1.6 million square kilometers of land and 700,000 square kilometers of ocean in the next four years. Additionally, $90 million will be allocated to recover wood bison herds and improve biodiversity mapping for faster project approvals and private investment in green initiatives. A new task force on natural capital and financing will further integrate environmental considerations into business decisions.
