  • Fraser Valley Regional Biodiversity Strategy I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
    Conserving Biodiversity: Fostering Partnerships & Preserving Life December 2010 PREFACE The Fraser Valley Conservancy (FVC) is a not for profit charitable organization located within the Fraser Valley of British Columbia. It is dedicated to placing lands in trust for our future. As such, the organization believes that the Fraser Valley is a collage of biologically diverse habitats which should be valued and protected. FVC has mandated goals to, i) protect and preserve the land and watercourses that have recognized local and regional ecological value; ii) to promote, facilitate and engage in land stewardship activities; iii) to protect, preserve and enhance habitat for native species including rare and endangered species, and; iv) to protect and preserve land of recognized local and regional historic value. www.fraservalleyconservancy.ca Fraser Valley Regional Biodiversity Strategy I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This document presents a need for a strategy that outlines preservation, conservation and restoration measures to protect biodiversity in the Fraser Valley. This document describes opportunities for various existing conservation efforts to be synchronized and how current gaps in data can be filled. This process was initiated in 2009 and will provide support to current and ongoing stewardship and biodiversity actions. It is a regionally based planning and conservation initiative that will increase partnerships and collaboration between Fraser Valley stewardship groups and all levels of government. The intent is to support the work of Fraser Valley organizations in the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity and will aid in the dissemination of and access to scientific and conservation data. This information will also reveal where there are gaps in data sets that create barriers to effective biodiversity enhancement and protection (FVC 2009).
