OLTA Gathering 2020: Land Trusts, Ecological Corridors and Nature Conservation That Matters

Harvey Locke, Chair of the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas Beyond the Aichi Targets Task Force. The world is facing a triple crisis of biodiversity collapse, climate change and a pandemic. These are all related. Ecological corridors can play a big role in fixing these problems. Land trusts are key to creating them in southern and middle Canada. The land trust movement can thus play a vital role in creating a landscape of hope that will give us a brighter future that is equitable, nature-positive and carbon neutral.
