Last week, our Executive Director, Tanya Edwards, joined an Environmental NGO roundtable in St. John’s with Minister Julie Dabrusin to discuss nature conservation priorities in Newfoundland and Labrador, including collaboration, implementation, and community benefits. 🌊🌱

Our Conservation Director joined @MFNGov on a helicopter tour exploring their traditional territory. Indigenous leadership is vital in conservation, bringing deep knowledge of sustainable land stewardship. Together, we can protect these ecosystems for future generations.
