Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth. All living things, ourselves included, rely on biodiversity to survive.
Ontario’s Biodiversity Strategy guides conservation across the province. It’s like a ‘to-do’ list to help all of us take actions that will benefit biodiversity, address our changing climate, improve human health, make our communities safer and stronger, and support our economy.
The Ontario Biodiversity Council leads the implementation of Ontario’s Biodiversity Strategy. It’s a group of 40+ conservation, academic, Indigenous and industry organizations and government that work together on common biodiversity goals.
This updated strategy builds on the 2005 and 2011 versions and will guide our efforts until 2030.
Everyone has a role to play in conserving biodiversity. We can stop the loss of biodiversity and protect it for future generations if we work together across all sectors to take urgent actions to protect what sustains us.

The Ontario Biodiversity Council recognizes that Indigenous Peoples are essential partners in biodiversity conservation and commits to “recognize and respect the contribution of Indigenous and local knowledge to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and ecosystems” (UNEP/IPBES.MI/2/9, Appendix 1, para. 2 [d]).
Biodiversity sustains us and enriches our lives — and we need to protect it. That’s why we are delighted to share a summary of the updated Ontario’s Biodiversity Strategy.
The full strategy, with more in-depth context, background information, a glossary and references will be released soon. Check back and celebrate with us as we work together to protect what sustains us!
