Thank you very much for the question.
When our government came into power in 2015, Canada wasn't protecting even one percent of our oceans and coastlines. Next year, we should be at 20%, which is a staggering jump. In 2015, we were protecting about 10% of our terrestrial lands. At the end of 2024, we will be at roughly 20%.
We're on our way to meeting our interim goal of protecting 25% of each of these categories by 2025 and on our way to at least 30% for each by 2030 as per the Kunming-Montreal global biodiversity framework.
