Nature Conservancy of Canada/Conservation de la nature Canada

It’s never been about one tree, one creek, or one person. We know the power of coming together is what allows us to create real, tangible change. So let's unite to conserve, restore and care for nature. Let's rise to this challenge and unlock nature's power, so life on earth can not only continue to exist, but can thrive.

At the 4th Global #ILCN Congress this week Nature Conservancy of Canada/Conservation de la nature Canada and partners Ducks Unlimited Canada, Wildlife Habitat Canada, and the Alliance of Canadian Land Trusts announced a milestone. Together we have tripled the Government of Canada's $500M investment to create $1.5B of conservation outcomes with matched funding! By investing in public-private partnerships, like the Natural Heritage Conservation Program (#NHCP), a whole-of-society approach to biodiversity and climate goal achievement can be amplified! Thank you to all our amazing partners, and colleagues on the ground, for making this #NHCP accomplishment a reality! Now, let's really go to scale! #COP16 🌱 #WholeOfSociety #WCPA UN Biodiversity #PrivateGovernanceTools #Collaboration #IUCN

Conservation leaders gathered today at the Global Congress of International Land Conservation Network (#ILCN2024), and Andrew Day lent his voice to an important conversation on "Financing Large-scale Conservation Initiatives." These discussions on funding environmental projects are a key part of the future of conservation. It's collaborations like these that drive our mission to create the greatest system of parks and Indigenous protected areas in the world.

Cap Tourmente National Wildlife area is just half an hour from Quebec City but is a stunning nature preserve supporting the migration of the Greater Snow Goose in the St Lawrence River Estuary. On our visit yesterday we saw 40,000 birds browsing in the marshes for reed rhizomes in preparation for their onward journey to the east coast of the USA. Absolutely stunning. A fun fact about the park - a third is set aside for pure conservation; a third for recreation; and a third for agriculture - specifically cropping. As far as I know there is no precedent for national parks that protect ag land in Australia. What I found interesting about it was the park imposes specific management requirements on farmers: the crops are used as nesting sites for certain birds, and farmers have to wait til the birds have fledged before they are allowed to harvest - a delay which can sometimes reduce the value somewhat of their crop. This is a great example of where permanent protection on farms can make sense - especially if the farmer is compensated. #captourmente #greatersnowgoose #privatelandconservation #integratedlanduses #sustainablefarming #biodiversity #climatechange #migratingbirds #habitat #ilcn2024 #fieldtrip Lincoln Institute of Land Policy Nature Conservancy of Canada/Conservation de la nature Canada

The Coalition joined a lively, honest, and in-depth Round Table discussion on Biodiversity Credits at the International Land Conservation Network 2024 Global Congress. Moderated by Coalition CEO Candice M.D. Stevens, experts and practitioners from around the world shared real lessons learnt with eye-opening insights. Thank you to Ellane Van Wyk Head of Impact for the Coalition, Ash Knop CEO of Wilderlands, Luciana Aquino-Hagedorn Chairperson for Qarlbo Biodiversity, and Timothy Male Executive Director Environmental Policy Innovation Center for sharing so generously and the ILCN for creating these catalytic moments. There is much to learn and much to do to make Biodiversity Credits a real and sustainable finance solution - AND to ensure it’s a solution geared to supporting genuine conservation impact and core beneficiation.

Until recently, conservationists often designed carbon capture projects to focus on restoring flora - the doorways of the carbon cycle. That strategy overlooked how nuanced and deeply entangled all elements of life are. Emerging research on rewilding suggests a more effective approach is to look up the food chain to mammal species that are integral to animating the carbon cycle (regulating it at every level). But just how much of a difference could rewilding make? Oswald Schmitz and Matteo Rizzuto from the Yale School of the Environment begin to answer that question in a new paper published this month by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. Schmitz shares his work today with the in-person audience of the 2024 ILCN Global Congress in Quebec, Canada. Recordings of sessions like this one will be available on the ILCN website after October 18. You can also tune in to select Congress sessions and ceremonies virtually this afternoon and tomorrow morning at the link in the comments.

Today at the International Land Conservation Network’s (ILCN) 2024 Global Congress in Quebec, Canada, the Lincoln Institute presented the ILCN 2024 Conservation Visionary Award to two chiefs of Indigenous Nations in North America. Mandy Gull-Masty, Grand Chief of the Grand Council of the Crees (Eeyou Istchee) and Chairperson of the Cree Nation Government (Grand Council of the Crees (Eeyou Istchee)Cree Nation Government), received the award on behalf of the many individuals who contributed to the implementation of the Cree Regional Conservation Strategy. Anne Richardson, Chief of the Rappahannock Tribe in Virginia, received the award for her leadership in returning her tribe to their ancestral lands along the Rappahannock River and preserving—in perpetuity—their natural and cultural importance. The ILCN Conservation Visionary Award is presented every three years at the ILCN’s triennial Global Congress to exceptional leaders and organizations that have made enduring contributions to land conservation policy and practice. This year’s Global Congress is bringing together 250 land conservation practitioners across six continents from October 16 to 18 in Quebec, Canada. The 2024 Global Congress is cohosted by Canada’s leading land conservation organization, the Nature Conservancy of Canada/Conservation de la nature Canada.
