Parks Canada is reaching out to the public for their input on a new wildlife plan for Thousand Islands National Park.
The plan, which will guide the management of wildlife in the park for the next decade, is currently in its early stages of development. As part of the process, Parks Canada is seeking feedback from local residents, visitors, and stakeholders to ensure that the plan reflects the values and priorities of the community.
Thousand Islands National Park is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including species at risk such as the Blanding’s turtle and the eastern whip-poor-will. The park also serves as an important migratory stopover for birds, making it a crucial habitat for many species.
According to Parks Canada, the new wildlife plan will focus on conservation and protection of these species and their habitats, while also considering the needs of visitors and the local community. The plan will also address potential threats to wildlife, such as climate change and human activity.
Public input is a crucial part of the development of this plan, as it allows for a collaborative and inclusive approach to wildlife management. Parks Canada is encouraging individuals and organizations to share their thoughts and ideas on how to best protect and preserve the wildlife in Thousand Islands National Park.
There are several ways for the public to provide feedback, including an online survey, virtual workshops, and written submissions. The deadline for submissions is October 31, 2021.
Parks Canada is committed to ensuring that the new wildlife plan reflects the values and priorities of the community, and encourages everyone to participate in this important process. Together, we can work towards a sustainable future for the wildlife in Thousand Islands National Park.
