Environmental Issues - Overview

Environment Canada's mission is to make sustainable development a reality by helping Canadians live and prosper in an environment that needs to be respected, protected and conserved. They do this by working to preserve and enhance the quality of the natural environment (including water, air and soil quality), preserving renewable resources (including migratory birds and other non-domestic flora and fauna), conserving and protecting water resources, and carrying out meteorology.
