Chitetezo chimenechi ndi chofunika kwambiri poteteza zachilengedwe zosiyanasiyana padziko lonse, kuchepetsa mavuto omwe amabwera chifukwa cha kusintha kwa nyengo, komanso kupititsa patsogolo cholinga chathu choteteza 25 peresenti ya nyanja za Canada pofika 2025, ndi 30 peresenti pofika 2030.

Malo othawirako panyanja amapangidwa kuti azikhala nthawi yayitali m'chilengedwe kuti ateteze zamoyo zofunika kwambiri komanso malo okhala. Nsomba zonse zamalonda, zosangalatsa za Chakudya, Zachikhalidwe, ndi Mwambo (FSC) zidzatsekedwa m'derali kuti zisawonongeke chifukwa cha zochita za anthu komanso kuonetsetsa chitetezo chokwanira cha chilengedwe cha m'nyanja. 

Pokambirana ndi a Mamalilikulla First Nation and the Province of British Columbia, Gwaxdlala/Nalaxdlala - wotchedwanso Lull Bay ndi Hoeya Sound - adadziwika kuti ndi malo ofunikira omwe ali ndi chilengedwe chapadera padziko lonse lapansi cha corals ndi masiponji osalimba komanso omwe amakula pang'onopang'ono.

Pokhapokha pogwira ntchito limodzi m’magawo onse tingathe kukwaniritsa zolinga za Canada zoteteza nyanja zamchere zoteteza 25 peresenti ya nyanja zamchere zaku Canada pofika 2025.”

Kupanga malo othawirako am'madzi ku Knight Inlet kudzalola kuti nthaka ndi madzi zichiritsidwe ndikuchira ku zovuta zina. Kasamalidwe ka zinthu zachilengedwe ndi imodzi mwamaudindo akuluakulu a chigawochi, ndipo mapangano monga awa, kuyanjanitsatu ndi Amwenye, kuteteza zachilengedwe, ndi kubweretsa chitukuko cha chuma mu BC”
