Irreplaceable BC

We protect BC’s unique, vulnerable, and at-risk species by buying, restoring, and managing their habitats—for their future and ours.

Why our work matters

BC is the most biodiverse province in Canada. More than 50,000 species live here.

Biodiversity is essential to life on Earth. Not only do a variety of organisms maintain the air, water, and soil of our planet’s ecosystems, but they also provide food, shelter, clothing, medicine, and the other necessities of life.

What’s the best way to protect biodiversity? By preserving and caring for the critical habitats plants and animals call home.

Our leaders, our focus, and our methodology.
