Seal River

CPAWS-Manitoba surveyed candidates from all parties in the Winnipeg South Centre byelection about nature and wildlife conservation.  

Manitoba has a golden opportunity to show true leadership for the future of people and wildlife by committing to the global target of conserving 30 percent of earth’s lands and waters by 2030.

Manitoba’s forests, grasslands, wetlands and ocean are part of the climate change solution. These ecosystems help to mitigate the impacts of climate change by absorbing greenhouse gas emissions.

Nature needs to be part of the solution to water management. Wetlands and forests help to filter contaminants out of the water we drink and also help to retain and store water, lessening the impacts of floods and droughts.

A historic deal to conserve nature was reached in Montreal at the COP15 UN Conference on Biological Diversity. Now the really hard work begins.

A major milestone in the years-long campaign to establish the Seal River Watershed as an Indigenous Protected Area was reached Dec 14, 2022.

I am hopeful that the world – and Manitoba – is ready to do the hard work needed to reverse a devastating loss of wildlife and wild spaces.

Indigenous leadership is key to conserving Canada’s lands and waters: just look to an initiative to protect Manitoba’s Seal River Watershed.

Manitoba urgently needs to match a federal pledge to protect 30% of our lands and fresh waters, CPAWS Manitoba said in a press release.

We’re exploring how young climate activists can get involved in environmental conservation to mark International Youth Day.

Summer has officially arrived in Canada and we have a list of activities you can do to take in the beautiful wild spaces in Manitoba.
