November 2023: Join Dr. Liette Vasseur, Deputy Chair, IUCN Commission for Ecosystem Management for our November webinar!
The Niagara Escarpment Biosphere houses nearly a quarter of Canada’s endangered or threatened species where landowners need support to ensure continued commitment for their conservation and restoration efforts. The Niagara Escarpment Biosphere Network (NEBN) is a non-governmental organization established to support the co-management of the Niagara Escarpment Biosphere (NEB) as a community-led, grassroots organization that will work to meet the criteria and standards required by United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Through its co-governance structure with Indigenous and non-indigenous people, NEBN increases connections and collaborations among the various stakeholders of the NEB to develop a common vision for conservation, OECMs identification and restoration projects.
