Protect and Restore Wetlands

Protect and Restore Wetlands

Did you know that southern Ontario has already lost more than 70% of its wetlands?

Wetlands are biodiversity hotspots and climate resilience powerhouses.

Yet, the Government of Ontario has repeatedly weakened provincial legislation and policies to protect these ecosystems.

Please ask our decision-makers to protect and restore wetlands in Ontario.
