UNESCO Endorsement for Estuary Resilience Project
We're proud to announce that the Enhancing Estuary Resilience in Coastal BC project was recognized and endorsed by UNESCO as a part of the Ocean Decade.
The Estuary Resilience project is led by The Nature Trust of BC and brings together First Nations partners, environmental NGOs, and government to assess estuaries' resilience in British Columbia, improve estuary habitat, and enhance long-term sustainability and health of wild salmon.
"To be endorsed and to have our project attached to the Cultural Heritage Framework Programme demonstrates how impactful a project can be that engages meaningfully with Indigenous communities to facilitate, co-design, develop capacity, enable greater diversity and showcase the integration of science and cultural knowledge and heritage," says Tom Reid, West Coast Conservation Land Manager.
