Federal and provincial governments are advancing policy changes that could weaken species at risk protections and environmental safeguards in areas considered economically important.

Under the guise of cutting “red tape” and fast-tracking major development projects, like pipelines, transportation corridors, and industrial networks, governments are proposing to bypass critical environmental, Indigenous, and public reviews.

Healthy ecosystems:
✔ Support communities
✔ Reduce climate risks
✔ Sustain local economies
✔ Protect Canada’s future.

Weakening species protections creates long-term environmental and economic costs.

Join us to defend strong nature laws and ensure economic development does not come at the expense of biodiversity, habitat protection, and community well-being.

Your MP needs to hear clearly that Canadians do not support rolling back environmental safeguards in the name of speed or development. Nature protection is not a barrier to Canada’s future, it is foundational to it and these safeguards are not “red tape”.

Birds can see through glass, and what is reflected on glass, but they cannot see glass itself. Reflections on windows pose a massive threat to birds that collide while trying to reach the reflected image. Keep birds safe by creating a visual barrier!

One of the best ways to help birds avoid collisions is to apply bird-safe window markings to your windows. Not all window markings are made the same.

Dim the lights for birds at night! Indoor and outdoor lights at night can draw birds into urban centres. During the day, birds collide with glass trying to reach reflected habitat.

Many people think a bird that can fly away after a window collision is okay. Birds often sustain serious unseen injuries, such as bruising, eye ulcers and fractures. Here are some common but subtle signs that indicate a bird is injured and requires immediate medical treatment. Contact your local wildlife rehab centre or visit flap.org for further advice on how to help.

Be part of , September 21-27, 2026. Join bird conservation groups and community members around the world to rescue and document birds affected by window collisions to help make our communities safer for birds. Learn more at globalbirdrescue.org.

Since Trump is still talking about the 51st State... we highly recommend reading the Indigenous Corporate Training Inc. article "The 51st State and a Reconciliation Moment". It asks us to imagine the loss of our own national identity, which opens a door to understanding the enduring impact of colonization on the First Peoples of this land.

"I think Canadians are seeing and feeling a small sense of colonization right now."

This International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, Nature Canada is reflecting on the deep connection between conservation, sovereignty, and reconciliation. We invite you to join us.

Exploring the potential annexation of Canada as the 51st state and its implications for reconciliation and understanding the history of colonization.

Echoing some of words of Wab Kinew: they are attention seekers throwing a “timber tantrum” and playing “political games” about something serious.

When we see hazy skies, we should recognize that the danger is not just to us, but to all living creatures.

The past few weeks have been a stark reminder for many across Canada: wildfire smoke is no longer a distant threat. Hazy skies, a lingering scent of burning wood, and a general sense of unease have become common companions as smoke from wildfires drift across the continent.

The boreal forest is Canada’s biggest climate asset and we’re mowing it down and watching it burn at the same time.

Tag, email, phone and meet with your MP to tell them to:
- Accelerate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from all sectors of the Canadian econom
- Advance Indigenous cultural practices and sovereignty
- Support the transition to ecologically sustainable forestry

Nature Canada is saddened to learn of the passing of Bill Montevecchi, renowned Seabird biologist and conservationist from Memorial University in Saint John’s, NL.

We are immensely grateful to Bill for his dedicated support, his leadership, and his tireless defense of wild species and habitats. His work lives on through his ongoing university research, the protected seabird colonies he helped establish, and a planned scholarship in his name.
