THE NATURE CONSERVANCY OF CANADA LAUNCHES EXCITING STEP TOWARDS THE PROTECTION OF NEW BRUNSWICK’S BIODIVERSITY
FREDERICTON, NEW BRUNSWICK - The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) unveiled today one of the most ambitious conservation planning projects ever initiated in New Brunswick: the Conservation Blueprint for the Northern Appalachian/Acadian Ecoregion, the first comprehensive analysis of its kind.
This blueprint determines natural areas of special concern that have not yet been protected through existing conservation measures. The document will help NCC focus on the species and ecological communities of highest priority in New Brunswick, and will provide a solid scientific basis for identifying the most crucial properties for conservation. It also provides a framework for other organizations and partners to work together to conserve the natural heritage and biodiversity in the region.
“With the completion of this six-year project, the Blueprint represents a major step forward for conservation in the Atlantic Region,” said Linda Stephenson, NCC’s Regional Vice President, Atlantic Region. “Identifying the most significant areas of biodiversity is the critical first step in devising effective conservation strategies and building consensus on where we need to focus our efforts.”
