From Isolated Protection to Connected Landscapes Conservation success in the 21st century depends on connectivity.
Wildlife do not recognize boundaries. Species require the ability to move across landscapes—for migration, seasonal feeding, breeding, and climate adaptation. Our Approach We advance a corridor-based conservation model that:
Connects valley bottoms to upland and alpine habitats
Maintains north–south wildlife movement across the region
Preserves genetic diversity by preventing habitat isolation
Supports climate resilience by enabling species to adapt and relocate
A Scalable National Model This initiative reflects a broader approach developed through the True North Innovation Network (TNIN):
Linking conservation with community and economic systems
Integrating clean energy, housing, and land stewardship
Aligning public, private, and philanthropic investment
Creating replicable corridor systems across Canada
The Okanagan serves as a demonstration landscape for how this model can be applied nationally.
