Implémentation
Indicate and briefly describe any actions that have been carried out to implement this Resolution: 
ActionDescriptionStatus
Education/Communication/SensibilisationConnect People with Nature (#NatureForAll) – Parks Canada is contributing the time of two staff and additional resources to help lead the development of #NatureForAll. Through the joint IUCN-WCPA and IUCN-CEC task force, they have helped to build a coalition of over 375 partners who are advancing the #NatureForAll movement through activities such as sharing of success stories, developing toolkits to connect new audiences with nature, videos and other resources in multiple languages. Parks Canada continues to develop and expand programs that connect people with nature and contribute to the achievement of #NatureForAll, such as Learn to Camp, Campus Clubs and XPlorers, in addition to offering free access to its places for all children under 18.On-going
Activit�s de terrainParks Canada is delivering almost 1,000 infrastructure projects across the country that will maintain, restore and improve the existing contemporary and heritage assets under Parks Canada’s care. Parks Canada is also developing a long-term plan to ensure the effective management and ongoing sustainability of its infrastructure portfolio.On-going
Activit�s techniques/scientifiquesEquitable Governance and Effective Park Management – In 2019, Thaidene Nëné was established as Canada’s newest national park reserve. 14,000 square kilometres of wilderness protected through partnerships between Parks Canada, the Government of the Northwest Territories, the Łutsël K’e Dene First Nation, and the Northwest Territory Métis Nation, and with the Deninu K’ue First Nation, and with the Yellowknives Dene First Nation. Working in partnership to protect Thaidene Nëné reflects the Government of Canada’s commitment to reconciliation and renewed relationships with Indigenous peoples, based on a recognition of rights, respect, and co-operation.Completed
Activit�s techniques/scientifiquesEquitable governance and effective park management – In 2019, Parks Canada completed the first ever management plan for Rouge National Urban Park and added lands from the City of Pickering as well as the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority – a major step forward in the completion of the Rouge National Urban Park. The park’s natural and cultural diversity and urban setting pose opportunities and challenges never before encountered in any other place under Parks Canada’s protection. Located within Canada’s most culturally diverse metropolitan area, the park is well situated to meaningfully reach youth, newcomers and Canada’s increasingly urban population. The park offers tremendous potential to both deliver on and showcase Parks Canada’s priorities to protect and restore natural areas, ensuring ecological integrity is the first priority in park management; to enable people to discover and connect with Canada’s heritage areas; and to sustain the value of protected areas in fighting climate change, protecting species at risk and generating tourism and economic opportunity. A copy of the park management plan for Rouge National Urban Park can be found here: https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/pn-np/on/rouge/info/gestion-management/gestion-management-2019#summary Completed
Activit�s techniques/scientifiquesEquitable governance and effective park management – Through enhanced investments in Parks Canada’s Conservation and Restoration Program (CoRe), the Agency issued a report in 2018, summarizing over 40 projects underway or recently completed. Thirty-four percent of projects are recovering species at risk. Forty-one percent are managing invasive species. Prescribed, or controlled, fire is used in 29 percent of projects to restore species and ecosystems. Fifty-one percent involve transplanting or translocating species back into our protected heritage areas. About half of all projects are collaborations with Indigenous communities or partners, providing invaluable contributions to their success. All projects engage stakeholders, partners, visitors or Canadians in a range of virtual or in-person experiences. Innovating, learning and adapting to sometimes relatively new conservation issues, project leaders have been able to achieve a national goal of meeting at least 60 percent of ecological targets and are aiming to enhance results in future projects. Additional information on projects and outcomes from the CoRe program can be found here: https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/agence-agency/bib-lib/rapports-reports/core-2018 On-going
Activit�s techniques/scientifiquesIn Budget 2018, $1.3 billion in federal government funding was announced for nature conservation in Canada, known as A Nature Legacy for Canada. Through this significant investment, Parks Canada received $221 million over 5 years to support the implementation of Canada’s Nature Legacy, which will change the way conservation is implemented in Canada by improving the integration of national parks with the broader landscape and the use of science and knowledge to inform conservation decision-making. This funding will also contribute to the conservation of species at risk by using multi-species and ecosystem-based strategies.On-going
Activit�s techniques/scientifiquesMarine Conservation – The Government of Canada and the Qikiqtani Inuit Association recently signed an Inuit Impact and Benefit Agreement (IIBA) required for the establishment of Tallurutiup Imanga National Marine Conservation Area (NMCA). Tallurutiup Imanga is an area rich in biodiversity and used by Inuit since time immemorial. At approximately 108,000 square kilometres, the NMCA is a significant contribution towards Canada’s target of protecting 10 percent of its marine and coastal areas by 2020. Inuit Qauijimajatuqangit (traditional knowledge) will inform future decision making for the management and protection of the NMCA.On-going
