As part of the Pathway to Canada Target 1 process, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change Canada and the Minister for Alberta Environment and Parks appointed a National Advisory Panel (NAP) to “provide recommendations reflecting a broad spectrum of perspectives, based on the best available science and traditional knowledge, on how governments, nongovernmental organizations and Canadians could collectively achieve Canada Target 1 through a coordinated and connected network of protected and conservation areas throughout the country that could serve as the cornerstone for biodiversity conservation for generations to come.” This is the final report of the National Advisory Panel, including 38 recommendations.
