"The establishment and effective management of protected areas is a key mechanism to directly conserve biodiversity in Canada, and the Government of Canada has committed to ensuring the protection of 25% of Canada's marine and terrestrial area by 2025 and to working toward 30% by 2030. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) manages the Protected Areas Program, a network of National Wildlife Areas (NWAs) and Migratory Bird Sanctuaries (MBSs). This network is established for the benefit of wildlife conservation, with a particular focus on migratory birds and species of national importance such as species at risk. ECCC's federal conservation areas play a significant and unique role within the overall landscape of protected areas in Canada. To ensure that ECCC's Protected Areas Program stays responsive to new challenges, emerging opportunities, and ongoing needs, the following strategic plan and vision have been formulated for 2030. Implementation of the strategic plan and vision is intended to both support and enhance the role that NWAs and MBSs play in contributing to Canada's biodiversity conservation objectives"-- Introduction, page 1.

A Stake in the Future is a comprehensive study of the Whitehorse Mining Initiative, which was first conceived by the leaders in the Canadian mining industry. The goal was to revitalize the mining industry, attract new investment and forge an alliance with major stakeholders such as government, environmental groups, First Nations, the mining industry, and labour. The book examines the political, cultural, and policy issues involved in developing a new consenus-based approach to resolving land and resource use disputes with particular focus on a national multi-stakeholder initiative in the mineral sector.
