18 Big Picture Protected Areas Strategy What is it meant to do? A) Assess the current conservation context & align with Canada Pathway to Target 1 initiatives (now) B) Collaborate with a broad range of partners to set realistic goals and develop high-impact strategies to expand the network of Protected Areas (PAs) and Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs) (2018-) C) Set priorities and identify opportunities for securement, conservation and restoration D) Develop an initial 5-year implementation plan (2019-) Tracking the Big Picture Feb.2017 CarolinianCanada.Ca 18
19 Big Picture Protected Areas Strategy Key Principles 1) Reconciliation - Ensure that the strategy respects and aligns with Indigenous world views and treaty rights, is collaboratively developed with Indigenous partners, and is celebrated by the southern Ontario communities it serves. Learn from each other in a respectful space. Find good solutions together. Tracking the Big Picture Feb.2017 CarolinianCanada.Ca 19
20 Big Picture Protected Areas Strategy Key Principles 2) Biodiversity - Ensure that the expanded network provides key ecological benefits: high biodiversity concentrations species at risk ecological representation irreplaceability large natural areas habitat connectivity climate change refugia Tracking the Big Picture Feb.2017 CarolinianCanada.Ca 20
21 Big Picture Protected Areas Strategy Key Principles 3) Resilient Communities Ensure that the strategy leads to the protection of a natural system that sustains the health and wellbeing of both wild and human communities, as well as local economies, in the face of climate change. Tracking the Big Picture Feb.2017 CarolinianCanada.Ca 21
22 Big Picture Protected Areas Strategy Key Principles 4) Ensure that the strategy develops effective, innovative tools to assist and enhance: securement and easements improved stewardship conservation investment partnerships and collaboration programs, policies & incentives education and outreach Tracking the Big Picture Feb.2017 CarolinianCanada.Ca 22
23 Big Picture Protected Areas Strategy Key Principles 5) Landowner Stewardship Recognize that on a landscape that is 95% privately-owned, good stewardship is a critical foundation to growing a culture of protection. Tracking the Big Picture Feb.2017 CarolinianCanada.Ca 23
24 Big Picture Protected Areas Strategy Key Principles 6) Connected Community Recognize that people need to connect to the land, and partners need to connect to each other to ensure healthy ecosystems and protected areas. As such, places of spiritual and cultural importance can and should be included in the network. Tracking the Big Picture Feb.2017 CarolinianCanada.Ca 24
25 Big Picture Protected Areas Strategy Approach: Collaborate with conservation groups and local authorities to identify strategies to expand the protected area network, via: a. Protected Areas Task Force - ongoing b. one-on-one interviews and discussions - ongoing c. Webinar September 2018 d. a network survey - ongoing e. two stakeholder workshops October/November f. a major forum - winter Tracking the Big Picture Feb.2017 CarolinianCanada.Ca 25
