The Centre for Land Conservation engages with the Privy Council Office on matters related to the federal government's nature and biodiversity agenda, including the implementation of A Force for Nature and Canada's commitments under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Engagement focuses on the role of private land conservation in achieving national conservation targets, the policy and program conditions required to support a strong and effective land conservation sector, and opportunities to align federal priorities across departments with the needs of conservation organizations and land stewards. Natural resource use analysis and planning The Centre for Land Conservation engages with Natural Resources Canada on the development of policies and frameworks related to the Building Canada Act and other federal priorities that intersect with land conservation and natural systems. Engagement focuses on the development of natural capital accounting frameworks that recognize the value of conserved lands and ecosystems, regional impact assessment processes that incorporate private land conservation outcomes, and biodiversity offsetting policies and standards that support and engage the land conservation sector. Nature Conservation/Nature Strategy The Centre for Land Conservation seeks funding and occasionally is approached by federal officials to submit a 'request for proposal' in matters related to nature conservation. Funding supports activities associated with standards and practices for land conservation organizations, including conservation excellence certification. Funding also supports conservation policy research related to the land conservation sector specifically, and conservation policy matters more generally, particularly in relation to private lands. Agri-environmental programs The Centre for Land Conservation engages with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada on agri-environmental policies and programs that support agricultural producers and stewards of agricultural lands. The Centre seeks funding in matters related to stewardship and conservation on private and working lands. CLC is undertaking policy research related to agri-environmental stewardship, including programs and incentives that benefit farming and ranching communities engaged in sustainable and regenerative land management including nature conservation.
