正文(英文) | News releaseSeptember 8, 2020 – Ottawa, Ontario As Canadians, we are fortunate to have an abundance of nature in our backyards—a gift that comes with a tremendous amount of responsibility to protect it. Today, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, along with Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, the Honourable Marie Claude Bibeau, and Saskatchewan Minister of Agriculture, the Honourable David Marit, announced a land exchange that will allow the federal and provincial governments to work with the ranching community to conserve prairie grasslands in southwestern Saskatchewan. This land exchange helps Canada work toward its goal of conserving a quarter of its land and a quarter of its oceans by 2025. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) will acquire Govenlock, Nashlyn and Battle Creek pastures from Saskatchewan, and manage them for the conservation of species at risk and migratory birds, while continuing sustainable cattle grazing. Livestock grazing mimics traditional disturbance by plains bison and maintains the health and quality of the grasslands. In return, Saskatchewan will acquire federal lands and improvements, such as fencing, barns, and corrals, of equivalent value in 55 former federal community pastures that have transitioned to producer control. This land exchange will simplify and improve land management, enabling the efficient production of beef cattle, while supporting biodiversity. Govenlock, Nashlyn and Battle Creek pastures cover an area of 800 km2 and are an excellent example of how governments, ranchers, and conservation groups can work together to protect iconic Canadian species. Through collaboration, a strategy was developed to manage the pastures in an economically, socially and environmentally responsible way to support livestock production, wildlife habitat protection and local and Indigenous community interests.
