Biodiversity Plan
The Nex̱wlélex̱wm/Bowen Island Biodiversity Plan is the first of its kind for Bowen Island and gives us a stronger foundation for protecting what matters most. It reveals important findings on the richness of biodiversity on our island as well as the risks our natural environment face.
It helps us see more clearly. It helps us plan ahead. And it helps turn shared concern into practical action.
We are a land trust and registered charity. Through our work and advocacy, we offer a hopeful future for future generations, and the amazing diversity of plant, animal, and insect species with whom we share this extraordinary place.
Our work involves:
-
- Management of the Conservancy Protected Land and Wild Coast Nature Refuge at Cape Roger Curtis;
- Management of local Nature Reserves;
- Public education;
- Acquisition of ecologically-valuable land;
- Arranging conservation covenants.
