Your Voices for Nature Matter!
Jodi Joy, the Director of Development and Conservation at Nature Canada.
Thank you to the thousands of Canadians like you who called for the government to invest in more wilderness protection for wildlife! Time and time again we are inspired by how deeply you care about nature and your commitment to protecting it. Using our collective voices is what makes a difference, and, as we saw with the 2018 Federal Budget, as a united front, we will influence change.
Never doubt that your voice matters for wildlife and landscapes across Canada, and for all of us at Nature Canada! I always love receiving notes from our members because it reminds me how many Canadians are truly nurtured by nature, and the importance of nature for millions of lives across the country!
Long-time members such as Dorothy from British-Columbia, make it clear to us why protecting nature is important. She exclaimed that “Caring for our natural environment is at the heart of the health and well-being of all Canadians. We need strong laws in place that put nature first.” And for the past few months we have been striving to do exactly that as we are making our voices heard and telling politicians to strengthen environmental laws across Canada.
As Peter, a member since 1997, puts it plainly, “Inaction is the thief of time, start with small steps, they’ll lead to much larger, more ambitious commitments to protect nature.” Together, we have taken thousands of small steps forward for nature. There are many more steps to take, and your devoted support is something that will make the journey more enjoyable.
Here are a few other quotes from devoted Nature Canada members:
“Caring for our natural environment is at the heart of the health and well-being of all Canadians. We need strong laws in place that put nature first.” Dorothy from BC, who has been a member since 1999.
A plea from Patrick, a SK member since 2014 that we are happy to work for, “Please protect our valuable nature capital – it is our future.”
A final, parting thought from member of twenty-two years, Ruth in Ontario, “Many of us despair about what’s happening to our planet & its wildlife & our environment. Nature Canada gives us a spark of hope.”
