Objectives:
- Contributing to the implementation of the 2030 Nature Plan by supporting the conservation of 30% of Quebec’s natural environments by 2030;
- Promoting ecological connectivity across the territory.
As part of our commitment to the conservation and enhancement of natural environments, the MUBR actively participated in the call for projects for protected areas in southern public lands launched by the Ministry of the Environment, Climate Change, Wildlife, and Parks (MELCCFP).
This process led to the submission of nine structuring projects covering more than 6,000 km², aiming to strengthen ecosystem protection, maintain ecological connectivity, and support concrete conservation actions based on regional environmental characteristics. These initiatives demonstrate our commitment to promoting the resilience and integrity of natural environments.
Impacts for Manicouagan:
This initiative strengthens Manicouagan’s position as a pilot territory for conservation in Quebec. By supporting the creation of new protected areas and the recognition of natural environments of interest, it contributes to preserving regional biodiversity, maintaining ecological corridors essential to wildlife, and promoting the adaptation of ecosystems to climate change. It also supports the mobilization of local and Indigenous partners around a common vision for protecting the territory.
The MUBR will continue its involvement in regional consultation bodies, collaborating with municipal, Indigenous, community, and scientific stakeholders to monitor proposed projects and promoting coordinated and sustainable conservation planning in Manicouagan.
