Canada’s $3.8 BILLION 'Force of Nature' Strategy: The BIGGEST Indigenous-Led Conservation Effort EVER?!

In our Canadian news update for Earth Day, we are talking about Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new environmental strategy that will infuse billions of dollars into protecting Canada’s natural environment through funding Indigenous Guardian programs, creating dozens of new national protected parks and areas, and more.
