Ecosystem Conservation Working Table

Ecosystem Conservation Working Table

The complexity of conserving North American ecosystems and their biodiversity requires trans-boundary collaboration. This table and its predecessors have worked together to advance an ecosystem-based approach to conservation, focusing in particular on opportunities for transboundary cooperation in the planning and management of terrestrial and marine protected areas and on wetlands and grassland conservation.

Mission Statement

To foster collaboration regarding designated conservation areas to ensure protection, management, and restoration of North American ecosystems and their biodiversity.
The CWS, USFWS, and the National Commission for Protected Areas (CONANP) are the lead agencies for this table. A variety of other partners have made important contributions to this table’s work, including Parks Canada, the U.S. National Park Service, the U.S. National Oceonagraphic and Atmospheric Administration/National Marine Fisheries Service, and the North American Commission for Environmental Cooperation (NACEC).
