Connectivity and Corridors Workshop

The Beaver Hills Biosphere, in partnership with Parks Canada, is hosting a two-day workshop to bring together regional partners and stakeholders to discuss the state of connectivity in the Biosphere, identify gaps in connectivity planning, build awareness and foster collaboration to enhance ecological corridors.

The loss of connectivity negatively impacts wildlife populations, biological diversity, and essential ecosystem services. Fragmented landscapes can lead to isolated species, reduced genetic diversity and increased human-wildlife conflicts. Connectivity planning is a key component of managing land and biodiversity to ensure resilient ecosystems for future generations.

AGENDA AT A GLANCE

• Expert presentations on connectivity concepts and conservation strategies
• Insights from the Centre for Large Landscape Conservation and the Kootenay Conservation Program
• Case studies showcasing successful connectivity planning in action
• Stakeholder discussions on barriers, challenges and opportunities for connectivity in the Biosphere
• Forging a collaborative path forward by strengthening partnerships and outlining next steps

Refreshments and lunch will be served.

March 17 & 18: On both days, refreshments at 8:30 am, program begins at 9:00 am and ends at 3:30 pm.
