Presentation Summary:
Understanding the human landscape of the Canadian prairies is integral to the success of conservation initiatives. Although many organizations are working to conserve this ecosystem, in 2025 Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) funded the Grassland Learning and Knowledge Hub (GLKH) to enhance collaboration on the social science and policy aspects of grassland conservation. The GLKH is a partnership between the University of Alberta, Canadian Forage and Grassland Association, Ducks Unlimited Canada and the Restore Assert Defend (RAD) Network. To enable grassland conservation, this presentation will explore how the GLKH seeks to address natural climate solutions implementation and research gaps by analyzing barriers to reducing grasslands conversion and increasing restoration, with an emphasis on policy and the social sciences.
This Webinar Presentation is part of SK PCAP’s Prairie’s Got the Goods Week! PGTGW is an annual, week-long series of webinars focusing on the goods and services provided by the native prairie ecosystem. All of our webinars are FREE and everyone is welcome to attend.
