WBR Vision

The Waterton Biosphere Region is a special place where people work together to support resilient landscapes and communities, where our cultural and natural diversities are valued.

 

WBR Mission

By working collaboratively, the Waterton Biosphere Region strives to achieve a balance between conserving biological diversity, promoting sustainable use of resources, and building the capacity of local residents, First Nations, and organizations to positively affect their communities and the environment.

The Waterton Biosphere Reserve Association (WBRA) is a non-profit organization focused on linking biodiversity conservation to sustainable human use of resources in the Waterton Biosphere Region. Established in the early 1980s, the association has worked closely with local people for over 40 years to integrate conservation values with traditional livelihoods. The WBRA is a member of the Canadian Biosphere Reserve Association (CBRA), along with 18 other biosphere reserves in Canada.
