Canada has a new strategy for nature—but what does it actually mean on the ground?

On this episode of Good Nature, host Megan Leslie sits down with the Honourable Steven Guilbeault, MP for Laurier–Sainte-Marie in Montreal and former Minister of Environment and Climate Change. They dig into Canada’s new nature strategy, including the tension between conservation and development, what it really means for lands and waters to be “protected,” and the challenge of meeting Canada’s commitment to protect 30% of lands and waters by 2030.

But first, Megan’s checking in with WWF-Canada senior conservation scientist Jessica Currie for some good news about cooperation in forests.
