Provinces agree to help Canada protect 30 per cent of land and water by 2030
Canada’s provinces and territories are on board to help the federal government in its goal to halt land and water loss across the country.
“It’s a necessary plan. Nature is what nurtures all life. It provides us with food, clear air and water, as well as protection from nature’s hazards,” Guilbeault said on Friday. The global deal specifies that countries will collectively preserve 30 per cent of land and oceans, but some countries have either little land or little ocean that they can contribute to that total, Guilbeault said.For example, Nova Scotia’s land is 70 per cent private, so the province committed to preserving 20 per cent of its land, said Nova Scotia environment minister Tim Halman. British Columbia committed to preserving 30 per cent.
Environment ministers from Saskatchewan, B.C., Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and Northwest Territories attended the meeting. “I have been talking with my Alberta counterparts before the election on some of these issues … of nature protection and biodiversity protection, and I’m confident that regardless of the result of the election we’ll have that collaboration,” Guilbeault said.
