Protect nature’s unsung hero.
Protect nature’s unsung hero.
Once they’re gone, they can never be replaced. But you can save what’s left of them.
Protecting Canada’s Prairie grasslands is essential to our survival. They support vital pollinators, purify our drinking water and mitigate flooding. They’re also home to thousands of plant and animal species, many of which are at risk, like swift fox and burrowing owl.
Conserve the Prairie grasslands
More than 80% of these grasslands have already disappeared, and every day, another 165 hectares are lost. The Prairie Grasslands Action Plan is leading efforts to conserve more than 500,000 hectares by 2030.
Less than six per cent of Canada’s Prairie grasslands are currently protected.
We must save what’s left of this essential ecosystem so it can protect us for generations to come. Like upside-down forests, Prairie grasslands store billions of tonnes of carbon underground via their deep root systems, cleaning the air we breathe and countering the effects of climate change and biodiversity loss.
Your donation will conserve and care for critical landscapes, helping to stop biodiversity loss, so people and nature can thrive. Together, we can conserve an additional one million hectares of nature across Canada by 2030.
