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

Part of Alex Simakov91裸聊视频檚 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 he91裸聊视频檚 raising going towards the non-profit91裸聊视频檚 programs in the Rocky Mountains. He added that he wanted to support them because the non-profit has been leading Canada91裸聊视频檚 effort in land conservation.

91裸聊视频淲hile we91裸聊视频檙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,91裸聊视频� he said.

91裸聊视频淭he world is struggling with a growing frequency of natural disasters, and as demonstrated by last month91裸聊视频檚 record-shattering heat wave in British Columbia, Canada is no exception.91裸聊视频�

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

91裸聊视频淏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.91裸聊视频�

Over the last two weeks, Simakov has cycled past some of B.C.91裸聊视频檚 wildfires, which has shown him the importance and urgency of investing in Canada91裸聊视频檚 resiliency against climate disasters.
