Wetland Forum: Connecting and Leveraging Our Diverse Actions

A facilitated workshop for collaborative action by Alberta NAWMP partners

Considered one of the most successful conservation initiatives in the world, Alberta NAWMP has a 24-year history of successful collaboration between governments and conservation organizations working towards wetland conservation and restoration in Alberta. We have made a difference over time and we want to celebrate and share those successes.

Join us on February 1 – 3, 2011 at one of two Alberta NAWMP Wetland Forums (one each in Calgary and Leduc – locations TBD) where we will bring together field staff from Alberta NAWMP partner agencies and highlight their work to conserve and protect Alberta’s wetlands.

Through engaging presentations, interactive sessions and networking activities we will examine the values of and perceptions around wetlands and wetland conservation, learn more about our diverse actions and how we might refresh agency roles and activities, rediscover the value of partnerships and learn to better leverage our efforts by identifying collaborative needs and opportunities.

By bringing everyone together, we will aim to increase overall awareness of collective wetland conservation efforts, with the hopes that this lead will lead to improved inter-agency collaborations, enhanced actions and renewed use of NAWMP resources.

Remember, you are a part of Alberta NAWMP and your work matters. We look forward to seeing you at one of our forums. For more information please email Michael Barr, Alberta NAWMP Coordinator at m_barr@ducks.ca.

Backgrounder
The North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP) is an international action plan to conserve migratory birds throughout the continent. It is a partnership of federal, provincial/state and municipal governments, non-governmental organizations, private companies and many individuals; all working toward better wetland habitat. The Plan brings international scope, adds profile to wetland issues, builds partnerships, leads to collaborative actions, and enables access to significant resources (e.g. knowledge, data, tools, networks, funding) to plan, implement and evaluate wetland conservation efforts.
