Projects & Next Steps



The Conservation Framework has already guided many wildlife conservation projects for 2009. This includes habitat protection measures, recovery strategies for species at risk, protection against non-habitat threats (e.g., vehicle collisions), species inventory and monitoring. We’re developing several pilot projects with non-government partners, and full development and implementation of the Framework is expected to be complete by 2011.
Some of the key initiatives underway include:

Science & Information

  • Assess all remaining species of conservation concern
  • Geo-reference Conservation Framework information
  • Complete on-line reporting mechanisms to ensure up-to-date information is used in annual reassessments of priorities and actions.
  • Linkage between species and ecosystem conservation

Implementation

  • Implement the Conservation Framework within Ministry of Environment
  • Coordinate and link with other ministries
  • Make outputs available for all to use

Engagement and Alignment

  • Communicate and consult with First Nations, stakeholders and other government agencies
  • Discuss opportunities for alignment with funding bodies
  • Develop partnerships through pilot projects
  • Develop access tools for a range of clients
