When you think of endangered species what comes to mind? For most people it may be polar bears and pandas, but BC has almost a thousand species of plants and animals of conservation concern! Some species like the water-walking Pacific water shrew and wetland-loving Oregon spotted frog are found only in the Lower Mainland in Canada. What do they all have in common? Special habitat needs and often unique life-histories.

With our human population growing exactly where some of BC’s greatest concentrations of endangered plants and animals are found, it’s a challenging time to conserve this incredible wealth in natural diversity.

Join Pamela Zevit, conservation biologist and Program Coordinator for the South Coast Conservation Program to learn more about these unique creatures and how we can all help to ensure they are part of BC’s landscape for the long-term.
