Ecosystem Losses Presentation

A Sensitive Ecosystem Inventory of the Comox Valley revealed significant losses of sensitive ecosystems between 1991 and 2002. About 42% (4700 hectares) of intact sensitive ecosystems in the Comox Valley were either lost, fragmented or reduced in this time period. 97% (7300 hectares) of highly valuable human modified ecosystems (second growth forest and seasonally flooded agricultural fields) were fragmented or reduced in this same time period.

“CVCS On The Ground” Presentation

The Comox Valley Conservation Strategy is a plan to identify and map, protect and restore the critical ecological areas of the Comox Valley that are essential for ecosystem function, human and non-human health and survival. This presentation shows the layers of protection that comprise the plan: current protected areas, riparian zones, sensitive ecosystems, critical watersheds and upland wildlife corridors.

The Comox Valley Conservation Strategy

This presentation gives a broad overview of the Conservation Strategy: what it is, why we need it, what are the benefits, how can it be implemented and what are our successes so far.
