When asked about the state of ecosystem restoration in Canada, our interview participants had many insightful comments. But as you can see, to the right, challenges abound and yet there is also opportunity for growth.<\/p>\n

To actually\u00a0<\/span>get funded to do restoration on a full time basis is a rare, rare opportunity\u00a0<\/span><\/b>across the country. And that really for restoration to realize its full potential needs to be somehow taken up by corporations, governments, institutions in some way to support restoration on an ongoing basis.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_testimonial author=”Resource management officer, BC” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n A lot of the restoration projects are pretty shoestring. You’ll get\u00a0<\/span>just enough money to do a thing<\/b>, but that to me, that’s not a healthy landscape; it’s just a push to try to get it somewhere a bit more functional. I think ultimately we’re trying to reach a point of stewardship that benefits things beyond the human scope. And I don’t think that with the resourcing we have now, it’s not wholly achievable.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_testimonial author=”Forest\/grassland restoration practitioner, ON” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n [Canada is] <\/span>Late to the party<\/b>\u00a0in terms of policy and procedure, and best practices.

Maybe that’s one word that describes it, because so little has been done. There’s so many opportunities to do things based on best practices developed elsewhere.
