Canada’s Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault tabled the nature accountability bill in the House of Commons. …Alongside the tabled legislation, Environment and Climate Change Canada unveiled its 180-page 2030 nature strategy, providing a roadmap to halt and reverse biodiversity loss in Canada — a state of affairs that Elizabeth Hendricks, VP of restoration at WWF Canada, calls “the sixth extinction period of the natural history of the world.” …The language of the act reveals its nature: rather than a firm set of new rules, it’s intended to be “a promise and a map,” Hendricks said. …“Canada is far more advanced than many countries in the world because they have put together a plan and money,” said Oscar Soria, CEO of the environmental and financial think tank Common. But that’s only “if we compare with other kids in the class — but let’s agree, the class, well, is very lazy”.
