Political controversy aside, what has become abundantly clear is that Ford’s Greenbelt plans fly in the face of Canada’s freshly funded commitment to halt biodiversity loss.

Key Points: 
  • Political controversy aside, what has become abundantly clear is that Ford’s Greenbelt plans fly in the face of Canada’s freshly funded commitment to halt biodiversity loss.
  • Stretching over two million acres, the Greenbelt is the largest protected area of its kind in the world.
  • So, what exactly is it that we gain from biodiversity — and what does protecting lands like the Greenbelt have to do with it?

Nature’s interconnected benefits

    • Ecosystem services are the benefits we get from the natural environment.
    • These services are usually divided into three main groups: provisioning, regulating and cultural services.
    • For context, the average Canadian is responsible for about 20 tonnes of carbon entering the atmosphere over the same period.
    • With over nine million people living within 20 kilometres of the Greenbelt, it provides a space for nearly a quarter of Canada’s population to enjoy these benefits.

A diverse support system

    • Not all environments will provide the same services and having several types of ecosystems helps to maintain the wide variety of services we need — a type of biodiversity called ecosystem diversity.
    • With many species doing the same job, the ecosystem can keep humming along even if one is impacted by disease, droughts or heat waves.
    • It allows species to evolve and survive in changing environments — something that is increasingly important in a warming world.

The land-use battle

    • Unfortunately, this type of habitat destruction is also exactly what is being proposed for the Greenbelt.
    • The issue is not only about the amount of land that is protected, but also where it is and its connection to other natural areas.
    • The current setup of the Greenbelt helps to prevent fragmentation by connecting landscapes, allowing wildlife to move between different areas.
