  • 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.
