Carney rolls out new $3.8 billion nature strategy, new conservation areas
The $3.8 billion plan includes new parks in Quebec and Manitoba and aims to protect 30% of Canada’s land and waters by 2030, with private sector investment also sought.
- On Tuesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled a $3.8 billion nature-protection strategy in Wakefield, Quebec, designed to create new national parks and marine conservation areas toward Canada's 2030 conservation targets.
- Following the UN Biodiversity Conference in Montreal, the Trudeau government committed four years ago to protecting 30 per cent of Canada's land and waters by 2030, establishing the foundation for this new strategy.
- Carney announced immediate creation of the Wiinipaawk Indigenous Protected Area and National Marine Conservation Area in Eastern James Bay, plus the Seal River Watershed National Park in Manitoba.
- Currently, about 14 per cent of land in Canada is protected; the new marine measures aim to add 12 per cent, bringing total protected waters to 28 per cent by 2030.
- Private sector investment will be essential to supplement the $3.8 billion, Carney said, addressing recent warnings from conservation groups that federal ambitions had outpaced long-term funding commitments.
