WEBINAR – Achieving Target 1: Protecting 17% of land and freshwater in Canada by 2020
May 24, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
The first target of Canada’s Biodiversity Strategy is to protect 17% of land and freshwater and 10% of coastal and marine areas by 2020. With only 10.6% of land and freshwater currently protected, we have a big opportunity to push for the protection of freshwater ecosystems in Canada over the next two years.
Join us for our next Fresh Ideas webinar, with guest speakers Stephen Hazell of Nature Canada and Eli Enns of the Indigenous Circle of Experts. Stephen will share insights about how groups around the country are working to advance Target 1 and how the freshwater community can get involved in protecting our life-giving waters. Eli will discuss the necessity of including Indigenous Protected and Conserved areas in this conservation goal.
The webinar will take place on Thursday, May 24th at 10am Pacific time / 1pm Eastern time.
It is free of charge, but spaces are limited, so RSVP below to save your seat.
