and from The Globe and Mail:
“’The beauty of Canada’s nature – from lakes and forests to mountains and coastlines – is central to our history, our identity and our way of life,’ Prime Minister Mark Carney said at the announcement in Wakefield, Que.  Protecting 30 per cent of the country’s lands and waters by the end of the decade – a target known as 30×30″
“The new plan, A Force of Nature: Canada’s Strategy to Protect Nature, maps a path to … introducing measures across three pillars: “protecting nature” through new parks, marine protected areas and Indigenous- led conservation”
NICE!
