From the Wild to Our Backyards: Protecting Biodiversity in a Changing Climate Webinar
Join the Toronto Zoo for an inspiring Toronto Climate Week webinar exploring how we can protect and restore biodiversity in our own communities. From the Wild to Our Backyards will highlight innovative programs and strategies that are reconnecting people, wildlife, and habitats across Toronto and beyond.
Hear from leading organizations who are planting mini forests, advancing city-wide biodiversity strategies, mobilizing citizen scientists through BioBlitz events, and delivering local wildlife conservation programs. Together, these efforts demonstrate how collective action—from large-scale initiatives to small, everyday choices—can make a measurable impact in addressing biodiversity loss and climate change.
Participants will gain insights into:
How nature-based solutions can restore ecosystems in urban settings
Practical tools and community programs to get involved in
The role of biodiversity in building climate resilience
Simple actions you can take in your own backyard to support local wildlife
The session will conclude with a live Q&A, giving you the opportunity to connect directly with experts and explore ways you can contribute to protecting Toronto’s natural heritage.
Be part of the movement to create a city where both people and wildlife can thrive.
