Conserving biodiversity is important for our health and well-being because nature provides us with multiple benefits that we rely on every day.
Biodiversity in Ontario faces pressures from climate change, urban sprawl and the impact of our daily lifestyles. This report suggests ways that practitioners and professionals working in conservation, public health, planning, education and other sectors can help to conserve biodiversity.
EcoHealth Ontario is a multi-sector collaborative of agencies and individuals from across the province
working to increase our understanding of the relationships between environment and health with the aim of finding ways to increase the quality and diversity of the urban and rural spaces in which we live. Together we can
engage people, reduce threats, enhance resilience and improve knowledge. This report was developed through EcoHealth Ontario's Research Working Group.
