As part of the Nature NB team, we are representing New Brunswick at the Nature on the Hill event in Ottawa late October, 2025. Conservation leaders from all across Canada will meet to advance the interests of the natural world to our elected representatives.

This comes at a pivotal time, as Canada’s Nature 2030 Strategy represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to invest in large-scale, lasting nature conservation. But progress depends on continued commitment and collaboration… from governments, communities, and organizations alike.

We need to invest in nature conservation as a society, when we are losing species and habitats at an alarming rate.

Healthy Coasts NB and Nature NB

In New Brunswick, we’ve been working alongside many dedicated partners through our Wele’k Pemjajika’q Siknikt / Côtes en santé/ Healthy Coasts NB initiative, a collaborative effort to protect and restore coastal ecosystems while supporting resilient communities. This initiative shows what’s possible when we link species-at-risk to their local habitat through ecosystem-based conservation. However, like other Priority Places in Canada, the project faces an uncertain future once current funding ends in 2026.

Through this initiative, we have networked and shared projects with many partners across New Brunswick’s Gulf of Saint Lawrence coast, including watershed organizations, wildlife conservation groups, land trusts, Indigenous groups and several of our nature club partners. Together, we are building a whole movement of organizations working in parallel and directly with each other to advance the cause of habitat and species conservation.

Atlantic Nature: a voice for Atlantic Canada’s conservation movement

That’s why we’re launching AtlanticNature.ca, a new website designed to share the stories behind conservation efforts across the Atlantic region. Through interactive story maps and community-driven content, Atlantic Nature will help connect people to the places and species that make our region unique, and empower them to take action.

Visitors are now able to send a letter to their local MP through this platform, calling for continued investment in nature protection through the Priority Places and Community Nominated Priority Places network.
When we invest in nature, we invest in ourselves : in cleaner air and water, in climate resilience, and in the rich biodiversity that defines Canada and makes a big part of its local pride.

Follow us on social media or through our newsletter on our website, naturenb.ca, to learn more about what we do across the province and beyond.
