We are committed to reducing the impact that people have on our environment. The Manitoba government is implementing initiatives designed to manage these impacts and preserve the environment for present and future generations.
We are also committed to conserving the rich diversity of plants and animals that Manitoba enjoys. This biodiversity is under constant threat due to population growth, overuse of resources and destruction of natural habitats through human activity.
We are taking action on a number of fronts to manage the threats that are occurring in Manitoba. This website provides information on priorities, programs, legislation and actions, with a focus on the following areas:
- Air quality management
- Climate change
- Pollution prevention
- Pesticide use
- Management of protected areas
- Protection of at risk species
- Biodiversity conservation
