Protecting freshwater requires whole‑watershed thinking. Freshwater ecosystems function as living and integrated systems, from headwater creeks to estuaries and from forested uplands to lakes, rivers, and ponds, carrying water, nutrients, and wildlife. Effective conservation must address cumulative pressures, including climate change, industrial development, and urbanization. In this webinar, two WCS Canada scientists will share research and conservation work that advances integrated planning across broad watershed scales in two northern boreal regions: the Yukon’s northern boreal mountains and the lowland boreal forests and peatlands of northern Ontario. They will highlight field‑based freshwater science that informs policy, partnerships with Indigenous Peoples for land‑use planning and management, and on‑the‑ground conservation results.
