Since 2016, partners in the Pathway initiative have been working together to halt and reverse biodiversity loss in Canada.
Our work is guided by the best available science and Indigenous knowledge and moves forward according to each organization’s jurisdiction and priorities, in the spirit and practice of reconciliation.
We all have a role to play. This site provides information, tools and resources to help support your involvement in Canada’s protected and conserved areas network.
Areas that are purposely dedicated to conserving the land and its ecosystems and cultural values, both now and into the future.
Areas that are created for a purpose other than conservation, but are managed in ways that conserve biodiversity.
Areas where Indigenous peoples or governments lead or share leadership in conserving lands, waters and ecosystems through Indigenous laws, governance and knowledge systems.
As of the end of 2023, 13.7% of Canada’s land and freshwater was a protected area or OECM.
