So far Manitoba Wildlands has completed five Reality Checks. Our two most recent Reality Checks reviewed Manitoba's Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) and Community Pastures. Our most recent Reality Checks show that only 1/4 of the lands encompassed by the WMA system have permanent protection, and that Manitoba is behind other provinces like Saskatchewan in taking the steps to protect community pastures, including protecting grazing rights.

"Ensuring that all of Manitoba's WMAs and Community Pastures receive permanent protection would go a long way towards the Manitoba Government fulfilling its long held commitment to protect more areas of Manitoba. They need to get on it!" said Manitoba Wildlands Director Gaile Whelan Enns.
