Abstract

The Northern Boreal Mountains program is set in one of WCS Canada’s key geographic areas in the Yukon and northern B.C. Established 20 years ago, it is a key pillar of WCS Canada’s strategy. Our vision and mission statements articulate the program’s long-term direction to achieve our conservation goals and to be actively responsive to change and opportunities with partners, funders, and staff to 2030 and beyond.
