Take a stand

Tell them to make nature a priority!

Nature must not be forgotten. Send the letter today to ensure wildlife is safe and preserved for generations to come.

Nature as we know it is in crisis.

With the imminent threats of climate change and biodiversity loss, we’re facing an environmental catastrophe like never before. But there’s still time to build resilient communities and save the nature we have left.

To halt and reverse nature loss, our forests, oceans, grasslands, and other ecosystems urgently need protection. We must all ensure that our government upholds its promises to defend and restore wildlife populations and natural ecosystems before they disappear for good.

What Nature needs:

30 x 30
Protecting at least 30% of lands, freshwater, and oceans by the year 2030.
Support Indigenous–led conservation
Indigenous knowledge, stewardship and conservation programs are rich with information for climate planning and to better understand nature.
Defend nature’s crucial role in fighting climate change
Protected and restored ecosystems are the best defences for species loss and climate change.
Restore urban biodiversity and expand access to green space for all
Everyone has a right to the benefits that nature provides.
Advance environmental justice and prevent environmental racism.
Sustainability requires equal rights and justice – acknowledgement that anti-racism is critical for the well being of nature.

It all starts with you.

When you send your letter, you’re sending a clear message about the world you want to live in, today and in the future. With it, you can hold decision makers accountable for their promises and help advance the issues that matter most to you—including protecting nature and fighting climate change.

There is strength in numbers. Together, we can make sure preserving the planet in ways that benefit not just nature but also our economy and communities is a top priority for generations to come.

Dear Prime Minister and Ministers responsible for safeguarding nature,

We have all seen the unprecedented and imminent danger climate change and biodiversity loss pose to our environment, species and communities alike. This is an emergency that requires immediate action and simply cannot be overlooked any further. I am writing to you today to ask that you commit to building a more equitable, climate-just and nature-positive Canada.

At the G7 Summit, and in the Liberal election platform, you committed to halting and reversing biodiversity loss by 2030 and putting nature on a path to full recovery by 2050.

To make this ambitious goal a reality, Canada needs a comprehensive action plan and strategy, informed by science, Indigenous Peoples and backed by an all-of-government approach to recovering nature. 
In the pursuit of halting and reversing nature loss, I am urging you to commit to:

1. Protecting at least 30% of Canada’s land and water by the year 2030: Prioritize areas where nature is under imminent threat, and ecosystems that safeguard biodiversity and store significant amounts of carbon

2. Supporting Indigenous-led conservation efforts and fully implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples

3. Pursue nature based solutions to climate change by protecting and restoring critical ecosystems while implementing direct reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

4. Restoring urban biodiversity and expanding equitable access to nature: Work with provinces and municipalities to ensure every neighborhood in Canada has at least 30 percent tree cover, and every person lives within 300 metres of green space.

5. Advancing and promoting environmental justice to end environmental racism: Re-introduce Bill C-230, the National Strategy Respecting Environmental Racism and Environmental Justice Act and establish an office of environmental justice.

Sincerely,
