Nature Canada sees the $3.8 Billion announced today, along with new measures to meet Canada’s nature goals, as an impressive step toward key biodiversity commitments such as protecting 30 percent of land and ocean by 2030, embracing nature-based climate solutions, and ending harmful subsidies to polluting industries.

Canadians cherish our natural heritage and appreciate a government that will defend and restore nature as a key priority even in the hardest of times. The measures announced today strengthen our trust that Prime Minister Carney has a plan to meet that challenge.

This announcement is a meaningful step forward, and we look forward to seeing it translated into action on the ground across the country.
