BC is Special
Compared to much of the world, B.C. continues to enjoy an abundance of natural diversity. The variety and richness of our landscapes, ecosystems and species - that is our biodiversity - produce a wide range of ecological "goods and services" such as clean air and water, food, medicine, productive soils, fibre, regulation of local climate and much more. These benefits will keep flowing only as long as our ecosystems continue to be healthy.

No one organization or government can do the job alone. But by working together to meet urgent biodiversity conservation needs, we can find solutions that will provide long-term protection for B.C.'s environmental, economic, and social well-being.
