WWF-Canada: The Ten-Year Mission to Regenerate Canada

What does restoring one million hectares of habitat mean for Canadian Wildlife? WWF-Canada is the country’s largest international conservation organization. For more than half a century, they have been instrumental in protecting and restoring nature, as well as educating the public on the dangers of the climate emergency.

Megan Leslie is the President and Chief Executive Officer at WWF-Canada. She launched their bold 10-year plan to Regenerate Canada! This initiative aims to restore one million hectares of habitat, steward one hundred million hectares of vital ecosystems and reduce carbon emissions by 30 million tonnes. As a result, this work will reverse wildlife loss and fight climate change.

Megan Leslie joined Earth Day Party hosts, Shannon Burns and Sarah Christie and shared the exciting projects that WWF-Canada currently has in place to help achieve Regenerate Canada. Megan also highlights the important role Indigenous led conservation plays in the success of their ten-year plan. What are the biggest threats to wildlife in Canada and how can individuals take action at home? Megan Leslie provides hopeful suggestions for protecting nature as individuals!
