Due to their high biodiversity and unique habitats, the Nature Conservancy of Canada has identified islands and coastlines as priorities for conservation in all the Canadian Great Lakes. In many cases, we have worked to protect these islands from development through direct securement and working with partners, along with restoration projects on NCC lands intended to bring back natural habitat and support biodiversity. This presentation will provide an overview of NCC’s work on the Canadian Great Lakes islands and highlight some examples from each of the lakes, including Pelee Island, Wolfe Island and Cockburn Island.
