Le financement fédéral essentiel à la protection de la nature prendra fin le 31 mars. Lorsque nous laissons les écosystèmes se dégrader, les coûts ne disparaissent pas. Ils réapparaissent plus tard, bien plus élevés.🫰snapcanada.org/le-temps-presse-et-le-tr...

Right now, key federal funding for nature protection is set to expire on March 31, which would halt progress. When we allow ecosystems to degrade, the costs don’t disappear. They show up later, and are far higher.🫰Check out our new blog post
