The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) is a Canadian private not-for-profit charitable environmental organization established in 1962. NCC works to achieve the direct protection of Canada's most important natural areas through property securement and long-term management and restoration of properties. Properties are acquired through various means, including donation, purchase, conservation agreement and the relinquishment of other legal interests in land. NCC works in partnership with governments, corporations, landowners, individuals and other non-profit groups. NCC aims to protect the country's lands, waters, plants, animals, habitats and landscapes for the benefit of all Canadians, now and in the future. The organization has seven regional offices and has helped protect more than 2.6 million acres (1 million hectares) of ecologically significant land throughout Canada. The Nature Conservancy of Canada is administered collaboratively by a Board of Directors and seven Regional councils. ==The conservation process== The Nature Conservancy of Canada's on-the-ground work is led by a team of conservation science professionals who identify, plan and execute the protection of the best of Canada's natural spaces and manage and restore them for the long term. This process ensures that these conservation actions (like buying land, removing invasive weeds or mapping the location of rare species) are efficient and effective. NCC's conservation process is guided by the following four steps, which happen at all scales (from ecoregions, to natural areas, to properties and projects): Setting priorities: First, NCC staff identify where we should work, the species and habitats we want to protect, their health and the threats to them. Developing strategies: Next, staff identify what we need to do to reduce the threats to those species and habitats and improve their overall health. Taking action: NCC staff then implement these strategies, both on our own and with partners. Measuring success: Staff then assess how effective these actions are, whether they are improving the health of the species and habitats we want to protect and reducing the threats to them. This leads to a reassessment of priorities, strategies and actions, and the process begins again. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nature Conservancy of Canada」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
