The Canadian National Park system makes up 450,000 square kilometers ranging from the county’s northernmost reaches to its Pacific and Atlantic coasts. Parks Canada protects national parks, national marine conservation areas, historic sites, urban parks, and so much more.
But what does it really take to protect Canada’s natural landscape? A new video from Parks Canada explores why conservation matters and why protecting nature protects health, heritage, and the future of the land.
“From ancient forests to powerful rivers, Canada’s ecosystems support life, culture, and livelihoods. But they’re under threat—from climate change, invasive species, and habitat loss. Parks Canada is working with Indigenous partners, scientists, and local communities to restore ecosystems, protect species at risk, and tackle the climate and biodiversity crises head-on.“
