The National Environmental Treasure

"It is clear that the highly effective watchdog role that environmental groups played in the past must not only be maintained, but in fact enhanced, given the fiscal realities that have led to funding cutbacks. We must ensure that our environmental safety net remains firmly in place. A people's trust for the environment where every individual action counts, is an important first step to restoring our environmental security."

- Clifford Lincoln, a former member of the House of Commons Standing Committee on the Environment & Sustainable Development.

No-one intended to leave their children a world more impoverished than the world they themselves were privileged to walk in. The time to act is now. By enhancing the capacity of environmental groups to act effectively, we have acted effectively. By banking on the National Environmental Treasure (NET), we secure a long-term legacy for our children's children.
