Canada signs on to global reforestation plan

Canada has pledged to join the Bonn Challenge, a global initiative aimed at bringing 350 million hectares of degraded and deforested landscapes under restoration by 2030.

The announcement was made Dec. 12 at the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP15) in Montreal, which is convening partners around the world to call for greater collaboration toward addressing the dual crises of biodiversity loss and climate change. Conserving nature and halting rapid biodiversity loss is essential to combating climate change and building resilience to its impacts.
