Canada Announces $3.8 Billion Nature Protection Plan

The Canadian government, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, announced a $3.8 billion plan to protect nature, focusing on salmon and polar bears, and creating new national parks. This follows a commitment by nearly 200 countries at the COP15 biodiversity conference in 2022 to protect 30% of the planet’s land and water by 2030. Canada currently protects only 14% of its territory and has four years to double this figure.
