Protect Canada's Maple Trees!

Canada without maple trees? This may be difficult to picture, but in as little as ten years, it may become a reality if we don't take action now.

As a result of climate change, habitat degradation, invasive species and pollution, Canada's biodiversity is in serious peril.

This is devastating news for Canada's $80.4 million sugar maple industry. Losing the sugar maple would be a great loss to Canada's economy. The timber, fish, and agriculture are suffering as well, as all are extremely susceptible to the worsening environmental conditions.

After Ontario's strategy to protect and restore biodiversity expired last year, there have so far been no plans to adopt an updated version.

Tell Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty that cutting the budget and failing to adopt a new biodiversity strategy plan will put Canada's people and economy in a dangerous position.
