June 2020 Public Opinion Poll on Economic Recovery & Conservation
INDIGENOUS LEADERSHIP INITIATIVE
As the country focuses on restoring public health and the economy in the face of COVID-19, most Canadians continue to want the federal government to prioritize nature protection. According to a new poll, they view conservation as an important part of economic recovery. And nearly three in four Canadians support federal investment in Indigenous stewardship—including Indigenous Guardians and Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas—to help create jobs, build prosperity, and meet Canada’s conservation commitments.
The poll, conducted by Pollara Strategic Insights for the International Boreal Conservation Campaign and the Indigenous Leadership Initiative, sampled 3,019 Canadians between June 8 and 10, 2020.
