Canada is investing $4.8 million to support biodiversity conservation in southern Ontario

Canada’s biodiversity is a cornerstone of our way of life, and Canadians depend on nature for clean water to drink, air to breathe, food to eat, and quality spaces to enjoy the outdoors. Conserving nature is vital to fighting the triple crisis of climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss.

I’m new to Mastadon - another bird app refugee. I study #wetlands #invertebrates #birds #plants, especially how to manage #invasivespecies and to conserve #speciesAtRisk. I run the #WaterlooWetlandLab at the #University of #Waterloo. I’m getting pretty agitated by #Ontario ‘s Ford #government who are passing #Bill23 that will destroy many wetlands to profit developers. Lately, I’m working hard to #SaveOntarioWetlands.
