      <description><![CDATA[One year since CPAWS called on the federal government to create 12 new marine protected areas by December 2012, the good news is that it is making progress in designating many of them as legal entities. However, CPAWS is concerned that the conservation measures the government is proposing once these areas are designated for protection may be too weak to be effective.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Ottawa--As Canada’s only national organization solely dedicated to protecting our country’s public land and water, the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) will be carefully assessing today’s announcement today by Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver about changes to the process for reviewing environmental projects.

“We believe Canada must have strong environmental laws to protect our country’s species and healthy, fully functioning ecosystems. Environmental laws should be based on application of precautionary principles informed by conservation science, in order to maximize species’ chances of survival,” says CPAWS National Executive Director Éric Hébert-Daly.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[TORONTO – CPAWS Wildlands League, a leading conservation group in the province, welcomes the decision by the province to place 23,000 square kilometres off limits to mining. It is a direct result of the long principled stand by Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug (KI) to protect its lands and waters in the Boreal Forest so that their children and grandchildren can continue to pursue their usual vocations of hunting, trapping, and fishing. The land withdrawal, one of the largest single area withdrawals in the history of Ontario, covers an area more than 3 times the size of Ontario’s Greenbelt.]]></description>
