Y2Y? Less land to enjoy freely?
Something big is happening.
“Environmental and conservation groups are convinced that there will be a significant amount of money — up to $1.4 billion dollars — in next week's federal budget for conservation.
They say all signs point to a growing political commitment to meeting Canada's international goal of protecting 17 per cent of its land and fresh water by 2020.”
“About 10 per cent of the country's land has been protected so far, but adding the further seven per cent — approximately equal to the land mass of Manitoba — will take time and commitment from the federal, provincial and territorial governments and Indigenous groups. Hazell said they have to see money in this budget to make it happen by 2020.”
