A group of individuals from First Nations, federal, provincial, regional and municipal governments plus, non government environmental organizations, industry, recreation, corporations, educational institutes and private landowners met in March 2007 at Radium Hot Springs. They came together because of their concern for the health and long term viability of the Columbia Valley Wetlands and a desire to develop an Environmental Stewardship Management partnership for these internationally significant wetlands.
“Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) looks at all the links among living and non-living resources, rather than considering single issues in isolation . . . Instead of developing a management plan for one issue . . ., EMB focuses on the multiple activities occurring within specific areas that are defined by ecosystem, rather than political, boundaries."
