Canadian Biosphere Reserves Association (CBRA) national gathering in Ottawa, Ontario
Our recent participation in the Canadian Biosphere Reserves Association (CBRA) National Gathering in Ottawa and the Prairie Conservation and Endangered Species Conference in Calgary (hosted by the Prairie Conservation Forum) has us reflecting on our unique corner of the province and our role within these networks across the nation.
While there may be differences in our geography, biodiversity, cultures, and windspeed, we appreciate the ongoing opportunity to exchange knowledge with the individuals and organizations who share our goal of supporting resilient landscapes and communities.
Learning from one another’s successes and failures will improve the implementation of initiatives and collaborations in our respective regions and will better equip our interconnected efforts.
Explore some of our network to learn about their work in the region, province, and nation!
