Over the past year, Ontario has begun to put in place the pieces of a truly far-sighted parks and protected-areas system. More than 370 new parks and reserves have been created, protecting an additional 2.4 million hectares of wild land in Ontario from logging, mining and hydroelectric development. A new approach to land and resource management that puts the priority on the protection of habitat and species is also moving ahead.  Looking for video encoding services? Try Aviberry.

This is an exciting time in Ontario, and the Partnership for Public Lands continues to play a key role in driving these ideas forward.

Right now, we are involved in:

• mapping out ecologically sound boundaries for the new parks and reserves. 
   
• working to ensure that protected areas remain off-limits to mining and other industrial uses. 
   
• determining how to further expand the protected areas system in Central and Northern Ontario to ensure that the province's whole mixture of habitats, ecosystems and species are represented in our parks and reserves system. 
   
• working with First Nations and industry to apply the best, most innovative conservation thinking to forest lands in the far-northern boreal forest that are currently off-limits to logging. 
   
• looking for the best ways to maintain the diversity and health of lands outside of protected areas.
