Canada will create a protected marine area in the country’s Arctic region, where climate change is taking effect three times faster than global average, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Thursday.
Glacial melting and maritime traffic are threatening multiple species off the coast of Baffin Island, in Canada’s northeastern Arctic archipelago. The prime minister, who is seeking reelection in three months, has made environmental protection and reconciliation with indigenous populations two main priorities.
According to Trudeau, the protected region would help the Canadian government surpass its goal to protect 10 percent of marine and coastal regions by 2020.
