Canada has some of the world's last wild places. Are we keeping our promise to protect them?

Paper: Informing Canada's commitment to biodiversity conservation: A science-based framework to help guide protected areas designation through Target 1 and beyond

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/325125139_Informing_Canada's_commitment_to_biodiversity_conservation_A_science-based_framework_to_help_guide_protected_areas_designation_through_Target_1_and_beyond


Hotspots for Canadian protected areas identified in the research of Justine Coristine, Aerin Jacob and their colleagues. This map identifies hotspots in relation to Canada's historic land uses of urbanization, resource extraction and wilderness areas. The researchers use warm colours to "represent areas with the potential to make a greater contribution to reversing biodiversity decline and preserving biodiversity for future generations." Map: Coristine et al.


Note: Ontario's Polar Bear Provincial Park is a "Protected Area" and contains "Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBAs)"
