"This investment will contribute $500 million from the federal government to create a new $1 billion Nature Fund in partnership with corporate, not-forprofit, provincial, territorial and other partners. In collaboration with partners, the Nature Fund will make it possible to secure private land, support provincial and territorial species protection efforts, and help build Indigenous capacity to conserve land and species, for our benefit and the benefit of future generations. The remaining funding will: • Increase the federal capacity to protect species at risk and put in place new recovery initiatives for priority species, areas and threats to our environment. • Expand national wildlife areas and migratory bird sanctuaries. • Increase the federal capacity to manage protected areas, including national parks. • Continue implementation of the Species at Risk Act by supporting assessment, listing, recovery planning and action planning activities. • Establish a coordinated network of conservation areas working with provincial, territorial and Indigenous partners"
