Environment and Climate Change Canada’s national wildlife areas and migratory bird sanctuaries: strategic program plan and vision to 2030.: En4-533/2023E-PDF

"The establishment and effective management of protected areas is a key mechanism to directly conserve biodiversity in Canada, and the Government of Canada has committed to ensuring the protection of 25% of Canada’s marine and terrestrial area by 2025 and to working toward 30% by 2030. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) manages the Protected Areas Program, a network of National Wildlife Areas (NWAs) and Migratory Bird Sanctuaries (MBSs). This network is established for the benefit of wildlife conservation, with a particular focus on migratory birds and species of national importance such as species at risk. ECCC’s federal conservation areas play a significant and unique role within the overall landscape of protected areas in Canada. To ensure that ECCC’s Protected Areas Program stays responsive to new challenges, emerging opportunities, and ongoing needs, the following strategic plan and vision have been formulated for 2030. Implementation of the strategic plan and vision is intended to both support and enhance the role that NWAs and MBSs play in contributing to Canada’s biodiversity conservation objectives"-- Introduction, page 1.
