Regional Caretaker Networks
Our goal is to maintain an active and supportive
network of Caretakers across Canada, with every IBA
assigned a lead volunteer, who is assisted by other
citizen scientists and volunteer experts.
Caretaker Networks are currently underway in every
province of Canada. While each program has a slightly different
administrative structure, most of these programs are run
by provincial nature conservation organizations, with
varying levels of support and involvement from the
Canadian IBA Program co-partners, Bird Studies Canada
and Nature Canada. In four provinces, the program
is either led or co-led by the local Bird Studies Canada
office.
Provincial IBA Programs are recruiting
Caretakers,
enlisting community and government support for IBA
conservation, and overseeing the review of IBA site
summary information in each province.
All of these provinces are at different stages in
implementing the IBA Program, and we hope to gain
participation from remaining provinces and territories
soon. This is an exciting time, when your contributions
will help shape and improve the program’s delivery in
unique ways in each region.
