What We Do

What We Do

Conservation North is a 100% volunteer-run community group based in Prince George, British Columbia (BC), traditional territory of the Lheidli T’enneh. We support and advocate for the protection of wild plants, animals and their habitats in northern BC.

Our Mission

To advocate for the maintenance and protection of critical natural habitats capable of, and necessary for, maintaining long term regional biological diversity. To recognize and promote the fundamental importance of natural landscapes as living sources of adaptation to climatic and other environmental change.

Our Vision

A future where the variety and abundance of British Columbia’s native species, and the natural communities they comprise, are healthy and secure, and valued by all.

Our Goals

Protection

Full legal protection for remaining primary forests in the Inland and Boreal Rainforests, particularly the accessible areas currently targeted by industrial logging.

Recognition

Recognition of the values of primary forest beyond timber, including carbon storage, climate change resilience, cultural values, biodiversity, food, medicine and clean water

Transition

A just transition away from the industrial harvest of primary forest and towards second-growth forestry.
