This fall, Nature Canada’s Nature on the Hill brought together caring Canadians like you (representing over 1,200 nature groups in our Nature Network) on Parliament Hill to be a voice for nature.

To support our call to protect nature, you can send a letter telling your MP to:

1. Fund the 2030 Nature Strategy and end nature-harming subsidies
2. Protect nature by establishing new protected areas and funding Indigenous-led conservation programs
3. Invest in nature restoration, including restoring habitats for culturally significant and at-risk species.
