Wildsight
Wildsight works locally, regionally and globally to protect biodiversity and encourage sustainable communities in Canada's Columbia and Southern Rocky Mountain region.Who we are
Wildsight works to maintain biodiversity and healthy human communities in Canada's Columbia and Rocky Mountains ecoregion. We are focused on three core areas: the southern Rockies, the upper Columbia River Valley, and the Columbia Mountains. This ecoregion provides critical genetic connectivity for western North America's wildlife populations.
Our work focuses on:
- Advocating protection of the high ecological values of the our region for the long-term viability of our communities and to ensure that the region continues to be one of the richest ecological areas in the world
- Strengthening ties with other sector groups, First Nations and industry to ensure that environmental protection is supported by a broad constituency
- Participating effectively in government and community processes to promote the protection of biodiversity
- Organizing outreach programs and media campaigns to increase public understanding and support
- Partnering with environmental organizations from BC, the US and other parts of the world to ensure that local work ties in with provincial and international strategies
- Creating and delivering educational programs to schools and the public
- Coordinating scientific research programs on endangered species
