Montreal, Dec 10 (TIWN): The federal government has set the goal of conserving 30 per cent of Canada's land and water by 2030, because science shows that nature needs help in order to reverse the decline in biodiversity, better fight climate change, and maintain a strong, sustainable economy.
At the 15th Conference of the Parties (COP15) to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Environment and Climate Change and Minister responsible for Parks Canada Agency, on Friday announced the government is leading by example by recognizing a number of federally-managed properties for their contribution to the federal government's conservation goals.
