Caretaker Network
|
In 2007, birders and naturalists from across BC started to partner in the development of a province-wide caretaker network. Volunteer caretakers are the stewards of our IBAs – watching for changes in bird populations or conservation threats, conducting outreach and raising awareness about their site, and undertaking on-the-ground stewardship if needed. The BC caretaker network is the first such network in Canada,
although networks of volunteers and site support groups have
been established elsewhere in the world, from Denmark to Cambodia,
and Tanzania to Mexico. Other provinces in Canada, such as
Quebec, are initiating caretaker networks as well. To
