TINY, ON — Canada and Ontario are working together to protect and conserve biodiversity, habitat, and species at risk in Ontario by expanding and establishing new protected areas. Protecting and conserving species at risk, and their habitat, requires collaboration. The Governments of Canada and Ontario are working together to protect environmentally sensitive land throughout the province. The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Environment announced an investment of nearly $10 million over three years to support the expansion of protected areas in the province. The agreement will see the addition of new—or expansion of existing—protected areas, including provincial parks and conservation reserves across Ontario. Canada’s investment is made through the Enhanced Nature Legacy program and contributes to Canada’s goal of protecting 30 percent of land and water in Canada by 2030.
