Fwd: A Disarming, Charming Bird | Canadian Nature Newsletter

[J. Scott]

Hello all,

Included in the lead article is a joint letter to federal Environment Minister, Julie Dabrusin. You can read it here https://naturecanada.ca/news/blog/over-100-nature-organizations-call-for-renewed-funding-to-help-save-bird-lives/.

A few signatories to the letter focus on the elimination of pesticides as a measure to protect avian species - and all life. Given how deadly these toxins are makes the federal government's roll back of pesticide laws seem so unconscionable! Please consider signing this petition to hold the potential poisoners in check: https://ecojustice.ca/take-action/stop-the-gutting-of-canadas-pesticide-laws/.

Following that article are an exposé of Carney's New Proposals [that] Threaten to Undermine Canada’s Historic $3.8 Billion Nature Investment, and an invitation to participate in a webinar with Steven Guilbeault on June 2nd.

Please share. Thanks!

Jay
