The Conservation Framework is British Columbia’s new approach for maintaining the rich biodiversity of the province. Developed by the Ministry of Environment in collaboration with other scientists, conservation organizations, industry and government, the Framework provides a set of science-based tools and actions for conserving species and ecosystems in B.C. The Framework ensures that British Columbia is a spectacular place with healthy, natural and diverse ecosystems that sustain and enrich the lives of all.

The Three Goals of the CF are:

1. Contribute to global efforts for species and ecosystem conservation
2. Prevent species and ecosystems from becoming at risk
3. Maintain the diversity of native species and ecosystems
