Stewarding for Biodiversity is a 4-part webinar series starting on January 16th, presented in partnership with the Columbia Mountains Institute for Applied Ecology (CMI).

British Columbia is the most biodiverse province in Canada, yet almost a third of the species assessed in our province are now at risk. Biodiversity loss has been recognized locally, nationally, and internationally as a major conservation threat. In the past two years, countries have come together from around the world to agree on a new set of goals and targets to guide global action through 2030 to halt and reverse the loss of nature. Locally in the Canadian Columbia Basin, organizations are doing their part to protect species at risk, steward wetlands and grasslands, and connect habitat for wide-ranging mammals.

In this webinar series, we will explore stewardship of biodiversity from multiple perspectives, emphasizing that conserving biological diversity and caring for all living things requires a variety of people, viewpoints, and practices. This series aims to demonstrate how collaborative, multi-faceted approaches across various jurisdictions and scales can lead to more enduring biodiversity conservation.

Thanks to the generous support of the funders listed below and CMI, this series will be offered free of charge.
