Ontario’s Biodiversity Strategy 2023-2030

Ontario's Biodiversity Strategy was renewed in 2023! The strategy is like a 'to-do' list for conservation actions across the province. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the updated strategy.  Now it's up to each of us, from across the province, to take actions to protect what sustains us.
Ontario’s Biodiversity Strategy 2023-2030

Protecting Biodiversity

Our economy, quality of life and health are directly tied to biodiversity. It’s worth protecting for our sake and for its own sake. We need to work together to protect our plants, animals, land, lakes and rivers, forests and other ecosystems. Life – it’s brought to you by biodiversity!
Protecting Biodiversity
