Alberta Wetlands Policy

The Alberta Wetlands Policy aims to protect and responsibly manage wetlands — vital ecosystems that support biodiversity, filter water, and store carbon. It encourages sustainable development by balancing economic growth with conservation efforts. The policy emphasizes preserving wetlands, restoring degraded areas, and integrating wetland considerations into land use planning. It promotes collaboration among government agencies, industries, and communities to ensure wetlands are valued and protected for their ecological and societal benefits, now and in the future.
