TELL THE BC GOVERNMENT TO KEEP ITS PROMISES TO NATURE
The BC government has launched land use planning in Northwest BC — a major step toward protecting 30% of lands and waters by 2030. Let’s celebrate this milestone and the leadership of First Nations and the provincial government. Now, as decisions are being made about what happens on the land, we must keep the protection of nature front and center.
Land use planning guides where development happens — and where it doesn’t — by considering what communities need to thrive, what ecosystems need to survive, and how to balance long-term sustainability with economic activity. It’s one of the most powerful tools we have to ensure natural landscapes, waters, and wildlife in BC are protected, while also supporting resilient local economies.
Let the government know you support a future where nature and people thrive together. Triple your impact by personalizing your letter and share why nature in BC matters to you.

Reaching 30% through Indigenous-led conservation
Indigenous-led conversation projects are one of the best ways to ensure our 30% target is met. For example, the Kaska Dena plan to protect an area larger than Vancouver Island. Known as Dene Kʼéh Kusān, this would be nearly 4 million hectares (or 4% of BC’s landbase) of new protected land abundant with wildlife.
This is especially important to shelter caribou, a species struggling to feed itself and breed in other parts of the province.
