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.
