Biodiversity Conservation in Canada:
From Theory to Practice



Fig. 12.3. Conservation initiatives with a broad scope tend to be complex and politicized, making it difficult to achieve desired conservation outcomes.

Conservation initiatives with a narrow scope are more likely to achieve their objectives; however, their impact on overall biodiversity may be small.
