North America is home to vast wetlands and incredible waterfowl. 🦆🌿
For 40 years, the North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP) has brought together Canada and the United States, later joined by Mexico, to help protect these vital habitats and the wildlife that depend on them.
Across the continent, thousands of conservation projects have helped wetlands thrive, making NAWMP one of the most successful wildlife conservation efforts in the world.
Take a moment to appreciate the power of collaboration in protecting the natural world.

🌱✨Seedling season is starting with small signs of new life. Tiny shoots are pushing up through the soil, slowly reaching for the warmer days ahead. Each little sprout shows how growth begins quietly, even before we notice it.
🌿 Take a moment to scroll through these early bursts of green, small beginnings shaping the seasons ahead.

In Canada, we don’t just live on the land, we live with it. 🌲🌊
From the rugged Rockies and vibrant forests to coastal tides, Earth Day reminds us to appreciate the incredible backyard we call home.
That’s why we’re looking at the long-term picture. Across Canada, communities and decision-makers are using climate data to better understand changing environmental conditions and make informed decisions as we adapt to them to build greater climate resilience.
Join us today as we appreciate and celebrate our Earth! 🌎

As the weather gets warmer in the springtime, we’re all looking to get outside and participate in more activities. Who better to look to for inspiration than Canada’s national animal?
Beavers are one of nature’s most hardworking animals, building dams and lodges from tree branches, rocks, mud, and vegetation, so their schedules are always booked and busy! 🦫
