Thank you for that very interesting question. It addresses the other aspect of our vision.
There's a lot of talk about this 30% by 2030 target and the overall protection of the big territories. Projects like the one you carried out in your community or the one in Mille-Iles are invaluable to locals, because they're close to home. People want access to nature. Over 80% of Canadians are committed to protecting and conserving nature. So these small-scale projects are essential.
The nature strategy's structure will enable the use of various drivers to ensure that the people continue to steer leadership, as in the examples cited. The strategy will also ensure that initiatives are supported by the government capacity, whether at the federal, provincial or community group levels.
In addition, by working on the third pillar, that is to say, valuing nature and mobilizing capital, we will ensure that we get results, not only through public funds but also through other sources of funding.
These are fine examples of projects that are highly valuable, but not necessarily in terms of the percentage of land. They are also of great value to the people.
