Letters & Briefs

The Conservation Committee promotes conservation with governments—federal, provincial, municipal and Indigenous—and the community of British Columbia by researching local, provincial and global issues that affect BC, such as the climate crisis. The committee writes letters to Government that express the perspective of BC Nature on conservation issues.

Letters and briefs address the climate crisis, protected areas and land management, BC Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBA) program, Transport Canada’s Oceans Protection Plan, DFO’s Coastal Restoration, Habitat Compensation, North American Waterfowl Management, Pacific Birds Habitat Joint Venture, Habitat Conservation and Restoration and many other areas.
