Ein Teil des borealen Waldes Ontarios, der größer als Toronto ist, soll vor Entwicklung geschützt werden

>The Nature Conservancy of Canada says it has acquired 814 square kilometres of boreal forest and peatlands south of Kapuskasing, previously owned by a company selling carbon offset credits.

That’s great news, but uhhhh, what happens to the credits? 

>The federal government says it’s contributing $13 million to the project as part of a total $64-million investment from both public and private donors.

TBH I’d expect more but it was a conservation group pushing for this not the feds. Kudos to The Nature Conservancy of Canada.

>The announcement comes ahead of next week’s annual United Nations biodiversity summit, where the talks are expected to focus on global progress toward conservation goals.

>Ottawa unveiled a **new $3.8-billion nature protection strategy earlier this year** intended to put Canada’s goals within reach, months after the federal environmental watchdog found it to be **more than one-million square kilometres short** of its 2025 goal to protect 25 per cent of its lands and inland water.

So is it a new plan or are they reannouncing spending from earlier? I know governments like to do that, but maybe we expect them to do the reannouncing at the summit next week?
