A Toronto energy consultant is biking his way from Calgary to Vancouver to raise awareness and funds for nature.

Part of Alex Simakov香蕉视频直播檚 1,400-kilometre solo bike ride means he will pass through Kelowna as he travels down to Vancouver.

Simakov is raising funds for Nature Conservancy Canada, with the money he香蕉视频直播檚 raising going towards the non-profit香蕉视频直播檚 programs in the Rocky Mountains. He added that he wanted to support them because the non-profit has been leading Canada香蕉视频直播檚 effort in land conservation.

香蕉视频直播淲hile we香蕉视频直播檙e making great strides towards decarbonizing our economy and achieving Net Zero by 2050, we need to confront the reality that climate change is already here and only getting worse,香蕉视频直播� he said.

香蕉视频直播淭he world is struggling with a growing frequency of natural disasters, and as demonstrated by last month香蕉视频直播檚 record-shattering heat wave in British Columbia, Canada is no exception.香蕉视频直播�

Simakov said the first line of defence against natural disasters brought on by climate change is our natural ecosystems.

香蕉视频直播淏y better managing the health and restoring the vitality of our forests, wetlands, and prairies, we can dramatically reduce the destructive impact of climate-driven disasters upon our communities.香蕉视频直播�

Over the last two weeks, Simakov has cycled past some of B.C.香蕉视频直播檚 wildfires, which has shown him the importance and urgency of investing in Canada香蕉视频直播檚 resiliency against climate disasters.
