While most Canadians are familiar with the term ‘climate crisis’, biodiversity loss - which is considered the twin crisis to climate change - isn’t widely recognized as a pressing environmental issue by the average Canadian.

As we argued before the Alberta court, the Impact Assessment Act is reasonable, justified and falls squarely within federal jurisdiction. The federal appeal has every chance of success in the Supreme Court.

A new report outlines how the federal government is failing to protect biodiversity and proposes a framework for a federal Nature and Biodiversity Act as a legislative solution.

A new report released today, “Not Yet a World Leader: Environmental Reviews of Metal Mines in British Columbia”, finds that B.C actually lags other jurisdictions by failing to assess some proposed metal mines that may have significant adverse effects.

In his newest publication “Project Impact Assessments: Triggering and Coverage”, Ecovision’s Stephen Hazell examines the assessment process of the Impact Assessment Act, and finds it lacking in addressing climate change and biodiversity loss.

As the UN Convention on Biological Diversity creates new targets, the federal government must take action or risk another dismal report card.

We are a country defined by nature, but that nature is slipping away. To prevent further degradation, Canada must act quickly to improve our approaches to conserving and restoring biodiversity across our lands and waters.

Thousands of projects escape assessment under federal law.

Defending nature and species from industry and government policies is hard, but this webinar provides you with the tools that nature groups, Indigenous communities and citizens can use to get federal action to conserve and protect nature.

Congratulations are due to federal Environment and Climate Change Minister Jonathan Wilkinson for dethroning coal—at least for a time.
