‘Action Alert’ Calling On Ford Government To Protect What’s Left Of Our Valuable Wetlands

Protecting Ontario’s wetlands is critical to building a climate resilient future for communities and biodiversity across Ontario.

A Call-Out To All of Us from Ontario Nature, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting and preserving our natural heritage

Ontario’s wetlands are incredibly valuable for many reasons. Wetlands mitigate flooding, store carbon and provide habitat for a diverse range of species, making them significant nature-based climate solution powerhouses. However, these powerhouses need our help now more than ever.

Wetland loss has already exceeded 72 percent in southern Ontario, and losses are ongoing. To make matters worse, changes to Ontario’s planning policy and legislation over the past several years have undermined wetland protection across the province, accelerating wetland loss.
