Have your say on the future of Alberta's parks and protected natural areas.
The Alberta Ministry of Environment and Protected Areas is seeking input from the public to help inform a made-in-Alberta strategy that will guide how the province will maintain, conserve and sustainably manage our nature for years to come.
"Nature includes the plants, animals and landscapes, their interaction and ecological processes, and the benefits, or ‘ecosystem services’ that people receive from nature.
Ecosystem services are essential to people living in Alberta to sustain a healthy and prosperous way of life, such as abundant clean air and water, fertile soil for farming, flood and erosion control, wildlife habitat, carbon dioxide absorption, and supplying the natural resources that are the foundation of our economy.Â
Provide your input through the online survey by November 7, 2024, to ensure that the strategy reflects Albertans' diverse perspectives, values and priorities for nature." (https://www.alberta.ca/nature-strategy-engagement)

Editor's note: It is very IMPORTANT that those interested in CONSERVING our natural areas speak up, lest our voices be drowned out by those only interested in preserving economic opportunities.
