British Columbia’s competitive advantage rests on social and ecological diversity unparalleled in the world. Our rich rainforests, teeming rivers and bountiful seas, combined with our well-educated workforce and unique blend of Indigenous and global cultures, differentiates us in the world.

The conservation economy is driven by the triple-bottom-line, where economic opportunity improves rather than degrades social and environmental conditions.
