加拿大保护安大略北部8.14万公顷针叶林与泥炭地，面积为多伦多1.3倍
加拿大联邦政府10月13日在安大略省多伦多宣布，将保护安大略省 Kapuskasing 以南超过81,400公顷的针叶林和泥炭地，面积约为多伦多的1.3倍。环境、气候变化与自然部长 Julie Dabrusin 与自然国务秘书 Nathalie Provost 当日公布，联邦将通过自然遗产保护计划投入超过1,300万加元。
该项目总投入为6,400万加元，来自联邦、安大略省政府、企业、基金会和私人捐助者，由加拿大自然保护协会牵头实施。受保护区域储存超过3,000万吨碳，相当于约3,400万辆乘用车一年的排放量，并为红头啄木鸟、稻田鹀等濒危物种提供栖息地。
联邦政府重申到2030年保护加拿大30%土地和水域的目标。本周，加拿大与安大略省政府还将在多伦多共同主持联邦、省和地区保护、野生动物与生物多样性部长会议，筹备工作也面向10月19日当周在亚美尼亚 Yerevan 开幕的生物多样性公约缔约方大会第十七次会议。
Canada Protects 81,400 Hectares of Taiga Forest and Peatlands in Northern Ontario, 1.3 Times the Size of Toronto
Canada's federal government announced in Toronto, Ontario, on October 13 that more than 81,400 hectares of taiga forests and peatlands south of Kapuskasing, Ontario, will be protected, an area 1.3 times the size of Toronto. Minister Julie Dabrusin, Minister of the Environment, Climate Change and Nature, and Secretary of State Nathalie Provost said Ottawa will invest over $13 million through the Natural Heritage Conservation Program.
The project totals $64 million from the federal government, the Government of Ontario, businesses, foundations and private donors, and is led by the Nature Conservancy of Canada. The protected landscape stores more than 30 million tonnes of carbon, equivalent to the annual emissions of about 34 million passenger vehicles, and provides habitat for species at risk including the red-headed woodpecker and the bobolink.
Ottawa reaffirmed its commitment to protect 30 percent of Canada's lands and waters by 2030. This week Canada and Ontario will also co-host federal, provincial and territorial ministers responsible for conservation, wildlife and biodiversity in Toronto, ahead of COP17, which opens the week of October 19, 2026, in Yerevan, Armenia.
