This work is key to mitigating the growing impacts of climate change and bringing Canada closer to its goal of protecting 25% of the country’s coastal areas and marine waters by 2025, with a further aim of protecting 30% by 2030. The expanded area will help safeguard ecosystems, and restore their health and resilience, which will, in turn, help species at risk to recover. Today, the Agency continues in its efforts to increase the area under protection, grounding its work in scientific, Indigenous and local knowledge. In addition, Parks Canada collaborated with the Łutsël K’e Dene First Nation, the Northwest Territory Métis Nation, the Deninu Kųḝ First Nation, the Yellowknives Dene First Nation and the Government of the Northwest Territories to create the Thaidene Nene National Park Reserve in 2019, Canada’s 47th national park. With the creation of this new conservation area, Canada surpassed its 2017 target of protecting 5% of the country’s coastal areas and marine waters. In 2017, Parks Canada partnered with the Qikiqtani Inuit Association and the Government of Nunavut to create the Tallurutiup Imanga National Marine Conservation Area-an area twice the size of Nova Scotia. I am pleased to release the 2021 report and share Parks Canada’s achievements in the protection and presentation of national historic sites, national parks, and national marine conservation areas over the past five years.ĭuring this period, the Agency continued to increase the area under its management, which includes 174 national historic sites, 47 national parks, five national marine conservation areas and one national urban park. Parks Canada’s report on the State of Canada’s Natural and Cultural Heritage Places is published every five years to track progress in the conservation and enjoyment of national heritage places. They also provide Canadians with ecological services, clean air and clean water, and countless opportunities to experience, enjoy and find inspiration in the country’s natural and cultural heritage. These places are also key to protecting the environment, fighting climate change and stemming the loss of biodiversity in Canada and around the world. National historic sites, national parks, and national marine conservation areas play a vital role in helping to understand and share our cultures and histories.
