For Canada’s 150th birthday, Nature Canada and CPAWs are asking governments to protect far more of Canada’s wilderness. There is an opportunity to show your support for designating a number of different sites in Canada by sharing on social media and signing the pledge for a ‘Gift of Nature’. There are 3 sites which both organisations would like to see protected in Manitoba, including the Southwestern Manitoba Mixed-Grass Prairie IBA. It would be great if as many birders out there as possible could show their support for this, Manitoba’s most threatened IBA.
