Expand Protected Areas

Expand Protected Areas

The Government of Ontario has not committed to protecting 30 percent of its lands and waters by 2030 (30x30) despite the Canadian and international commitments. Additionally, Ontario received a failing grade on progress to protect land and water compared to other jurisdictions in Canada.   

Expanding protected areas is an important way to halt biodiversity loss and adapt to the effects of climate change.  

Ontarians overwhelmingly support (86%) the creation of more protected areas. 

Join us in asking the province to protect more of our lands and waters.
