From the Rocky Mountains of B.C. and Alberta to the dramatic coastlines of Newfoundland, Canada is characterized by a wide array of landscapes that are home to approximately 80,000 species of plants and animals. But this incredible biodiversity is increasingly threatened by climate change, pollution, invasive species and habitat loss. With the goal of addressing Canada’s biodiversity crisis, the RCGS formally launched the Network of Nature, a national movement created to restore Canada's biodiversity by motivating, educating and empowering individuals and organizations to plant locally appropriate native species. Guided by traditional and western scientific knowledge, the Network of Nature is establishing a network of healthy, productive habitats across the country that will enhance urban green spaces and enrich developed areas with native plant species. |
