Meet 'Togwo', the Comox Valley's Ecological Reserve's Unique Resident

摘要

It is an extraordinary affirmation of the Comox Valley's biological wealth and British Columbia's unique biodiversity potential that at a time when the world faces a global biodiversity collapse, researchers can still find new species records. That islargely thanks to the foresight of Dr. Bristol Foster and others who from 1964 to 1974 urged BC's government to create the "Ecological Reserves." In a rare affirmation of long-term political generosity, the "Ecological Reserve Act" came about in 1971 with the unanimous support of both sides of the Legislature. Ecological reserves are a precious gift for future generations. There can and should be political common ground for the preservation of our natural heritage.
