BIODIVERSITY IN OUR PARKS MATTERS

Surrey is proud to be one of several cities in Canada with a dedicated biodiversity conservation strategy. Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth— animals, plants, fungi, and even tiny microorganisms like bacteria. All these species work together, like an intricate web, to maintain balance and support life. By protecting biodiversity, we help care for the natural services we depend on, like food, clean water, healthy soils, and medicine while keeping our environment healthy for future generations.
