A review of over 2,000 studies confirms that human activity is the leading cause of widespread biodiversity loss across all of Earth's species.
This is a collective space for people to share ideas, information and science.
Our goal is to raise awareness and increase literacy on biodiversity loss in Canada while emphasizing the need for immediate action. Our planet is currently facing a sixth mass extinction. Scientists have estimated that a number of species are at risk of disappearing 1,000 to 10,000 times their natural extinction rate with nearly 1 million species already threatened with extinction. If WE LIVE IN HARMONY WITH BIODIVERSITY and WORK WITH NATURE’S SYSTEMS, species will thrive, including humans.
A new study finds that butterfly populations have declined 22% between 2000 and 2020. These numbers act as a key indicator of the current state and health of our global ecosystems.
We can use a relational approach to building infrastructure in a way that supports regeneration and disrupts the current power imbalances in designing infrastructure, particularly internet access to Indigenous communities.
The development of the Anahim Connector in British Columbia poses a significant threat to the already declining woodland caribou populations by fragmenting their critical habitat. Provincial conservation initiatives have failed to reverse the decline, highlighting the urgent need for evidence-based landscape connectivity design solutions.
This year’s theme, Wildlife Conservation Finance, highlights the critical need for resources and funding, emphasizing the importance of aligning financial support with biodiversity preservation efforts and education.
J-pod's recent arrival of a female orca calf offers a glimmer of hope for the endangered Southern Resident orca whale community, which faces dire challenges. This birth underscores the urgent need for climate action and biodiversity conservation to protect this species and their habitat.
In June 2024, the Ahousaht and Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations, in collaboration with the British Columbia government, established ten new conservancies protecting 760 square kilometers of old-growth forests in Clayoquot Sound - an ecologically rich region on Vancouver Island.
Invasive species are a growing threat to Canada’s biodiversity, as climate change is shifting ecosystems creating ideal conditions for invasives to outcompete native species. But there’s hope - by taking simple actions like planting native species, reporting sightings, and supporting conservation efforts, we can help biodiversity fight back.
Urbanization threatens biodiversity, but communities worldwide are proving that local action and sustainable strategies can make a difference.
How increasing wildfire frequency and severity, highlight the growing need to address wildfire realities in Canada and beyond
A global approach to addressing food security and environmental challenges. What Canada can learn from the 2024 State of Fisheries Report?
The NET is exploring a partnership with the Canadian Coalition for Green Health Care Coalition. Our dream is to build a greening revolution across Canada to regenerate biodiversity for the health of our communities.
