Protect Nature Challenge

Want to do more to help protect nature? Great! Now’s the time.

It’s through everyday actions that we can all come together and make a real difference in protecting nature.

The Government of Canada is committed to protecting 25 percent of Canada’s lands and 25 percent of its oceans by 2025, but we can’t do it alone. We need you, Indigenous Peoples, provinces, territories, private businesses, not-for-profits and others to join in the effort.
