| The GCC and its partners have recognized the need to improve education and communication concerning grasslands related issues. The only sure way to promote grassland stewardship and ensure the sustainability of our grasslands into the future is through educating the public and raising public awareness and appreciation for these ecosystems. Grasslands are rare, unique, life-sustaining ecosystems that house a great diversity of plants, animals and insects. More than 30% of British Columbia’s threatened or endangered species depend on grasslands for their survival. BC’s grasslands represent less than 1 percent of the provincial land base and are one of Canada’s most endangered ecosystems. In fact, ‘ancient’ grasslands represent a much more endangered space in BC and across Canada than do ‘ancient,’ or old growth, forests! |
