Nature Conservancy of Canada Acquires BC Grasslands for Conservation

The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) has announced the acquisition of a significant tract of land in British Columbia's grasslands, marking a major milestone in the country's conservation efforts. The purchase, which was finalized earlier this year, adds over 3,000 acres of critical habitat to the NCC's portfolio, further protecting the region's unique biodiversity.

The acquired land, known as the Wakulluk Creek Grasslands, is situated in the heart of BC's grasslands region, which is home to a diverse array of plant and animal species. The area is considered one of the most ecologically significant regions in Canada, with many species found nowhere else in the world.

The NCC's acquisition of the Wakulluk Creek Grasslands is a significant achievement for the organization, which has been working to protect Canada's natural habitats for over 50 years. The organization's conservation efforts have resulted in the protection of over 1.5 million acres of land across Canada, making it one of the country's largest and most successful conservation organizations.

"The Wakulluk Creek Grasslands are a critical piece of habitat for many species, including threatened and endangered species," said Steve Hounsell, NCC's regional conservation director. "By protecting this land, we're ensuring that these species will continue to thrive for generations to come."
