The Council

The Ontario Biodiversity Council is a group of volunteers from environmental and conservation organizations, government, academia, industry, and Indigenous communities and organizations. Since its creation in 2005, Council has worked to guide and drive the implementation of Ontario’s Biodiversity Strategy.

We recognize that no single government, organization, or sector can do it alone and that we must work together to make the changes required to conserve the biodiversity found in our province.

“Protecting the diversity of life on Earth requires broad societal consensus and participation. It’s a challenge not just for some of us, but for all of us.” Ontario Biodiversity Strategy, 2005
