Canada's conserved areas – Conserved areas, Canada

Canada's conserved areas – Conserved areas, Canada The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The Canada's conserved areas indicators report the amount and proportion of Canada's terrestrial (land and freshwater) and marine area that is conserved. This includes areas recognized under the international definitions of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures. Land and/or water access and use within protected areas are controlled primarily for the purpose of conserving biodiversity, regardless of proprietary designation (for example, park, conservation area or wildlife reserve). Other effective area-based conservation measures are also managed over the long term in ways that result in the effective conservation of biodiversity. Well-managed conserved areas are one way to protect wild species and their habitats for present and future generations. Habitat conservation is a measure of human response to the loss of biodiversity and natural habitat. As the conserved area in Canada increases, more lands and waters are withdrawn from direct human development stresses, thereby contributing to biodiversity conservation and improving the health of ecosystems. In turn, healthy ecosystems provide benefits such as clean water, mitigation of climate change, pollination and improved human health. Information is provided to Canadians in a number of formats including: static and interactive maps, charts and graphs, HTML and CSV data tables and downloadable reports. See the supplementary documentation for the data sources and details on how the data were collected and how the indicator was calculated. 2022-02-22 Environment and Climate Change Canada Nathalie.Trudeau@canada.ca Form DescriptorsNature and EnvironmentSociety and CultureScience and TechnologyNature and BiodiversityNature and Biodiversity - HabitatGeographic FeatureObservation/MeasurementOversee and Manage Site ConditionsDesignate and Manage Priority HabitatNational (CA)EcosystemsEnvironmental protectionEnvironmental indicatorsConservation Canada's conserved areas – EnglishHTML https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/environmental-indicators/conserved-areas.html#summary-details0 Canada's conserved areas – FrenchHTML https://www.canada.ca/fr/environnement-changement-climatique/services/indicateurs-environnementaux/aires-conservees.html#summary-details0 Data sources and methods – EnglishHTML https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/environmental-indicators/conserved-areas.html#DSM Data sources and methods – FrenchHTML https://www.canada.ca/fr/environnement-changement-climatique/services/indicateurs-environnementaux/aires-conservees.html#DSM Interactive indicator map – EnglishHTML https://indicators-map.canada.ca/App/CESI_ICDE?keys=Conserved_Areas&GoCTemplateCulture=en-CA Interactive indicator map – FrenchHTML https://carte-indicateurs.canada.ca/App/CESI_ICDE?keys=Conserved_Areas&GoCTemplateCulture=fr-CA Conserved areas, Canada – RESTESRI REST https://maps-cartes.ec.gc.ca/arcgis/rest/services/CESI/MapServer/32 Conserved areas, Canada – RESTESRI REST https://maps-cartes.ec.gc.ca/arcgis/rest/services/ICDE/MapServer/32 Conserved areas, Canada – WMSWMS https://maps-cartes.ec.gc.ca/arcgis/services/CESI/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS&layers=7&legend_format=image/png&feature_info_type=text/html Conserved areas, Canada – WMSWMS https://maps-cartes.ec.gc.ca/arcgis/services/ICDE/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS&layers=7&legend_format=image/png&feature_info_type=text/html
