Biodiversity in Quebec

Impact Area

We need nature — and nature needs our help

In Quebec, wetlands are essential for maintaining biodiversity and water quality. They also help with the fight against climate change.

To safeguard these benefits, areas like the St. Lawrence Valley, the Ottawa River, the Abitibi and the Lac Saint-Jean Plain are top priorities for conservation.

We’ve conserved 35,000 hectares of natural habitat across Quebec and we’re just getting started.
