What are other-conserved areas? Megan Lafferty, manager of land protection measures at the Nature Conservancy of Canada, works with municipalities and private groups on other-conserved areas. A 2022 report from two environmental groups said that other-conserved areas were falsely inflating B.C.’s progress to its nature protection goals, because most of these areas were still open to logging. Carney also announced a new task force on natural capital accounting and nature financing to account for the economic value of nature and to mobilize private finance and investment into protected nature. González was critical about the overall message Carney’s emphasis on private money sends on nature.
