Canada has set a target to have at least 30 percent of our lands and waters designated as protected areas by the year 2030. Newfoundland and Labrador currently has 6.9 percent protected while the national average is double that. Piers Evans is the Program Director with the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC). He says with partners like government and Newfoundland and Labrador’s Stewardship Association of Municipalities (SAM) they are announcing that over 2,600 hectares of municipal public lands are now recognized as protected areas. Evans says the city of Corner Brook has been zoning some areas as conservation for decades now and designating an area is necessary to protect natural ecosystems. He says another area in Corner Brook has a population of endangered species. Other municipalities participating in this first phase of the project include Indian Bay, Elliston and Whitbourne.
