Our Work—Creating Models for Change
The Silva Forest Foundation (SFF) has pioneered an ecosystem-based conservation planning approach that protects biological diversity and ecological processes, while assisting communities and individuals to implement ecologically responsible human uses and develop conservation-based economies. Working collaboratively with rural communities, First Nations, land stewards, and conservation organizations, SFF:

• plans ecosystem protection and use, including mapping and analysis of past, present, and future ecosystem use;
• plans ecosystem restoration, including analysis of current ecosystem conditions and development of plans to restore natural ecosystem character;
• educates and trains people in communities and First Nations, land managers, and planners in the principles, techniques, and skills of ecosystem-based conservation and stewardship; and
• provides mentoring in ecosystem-based conservation planning and stewardship to rural communities and First Nations.
