Description

The guide begins by defining biodiversity and explaining its importance to agricultural producers and to our world. In the next section, the guide explains six basic principles of biodiversity conservation and, for each principle, lists supporting actions. These general principles and actions can be adapted to suit your own situation. If you farm or ranch in ways that are guided by these six principles, then you likely already know a great deal about your land and its ecological characteristics – about how living things interact with and respond to each other and their physical environment. The guide concludes with information to help you take action to conserve biodiversity. It outlines the steps in developing and implementing a biodiversity conservation plan. And it lists agencies that provide financial/technical assistance to Alberta farmers and ranchers for biodiversity conservation.
