Ontario’s Biodiversity Strategy guides conservation across the province. It’s like a ‘to-do’ list for all people and sectors to protect and restore biodiversity.

The first strategy was created in 2005 and updated in 2011. It’s time to renew the strategy to 2030.

Thanks to everyone who participated in our public engagement in February and March 2023 to help inform and update the strategy! Stay tuned for our ‘what we heard’ report, and for the release of the renewed strategy in May 2023!
