2026 Newfoundland and Labrador
Habitat Conservation Workshop
The NL Habitat Conservation Workshop is an annual gathering that brings together municipalities, Indigenous communities, government agencies, environmental organizations, industry representatives, researchers, students, and other conservation practitioners from across Newfoundland and Labrador. The Workshop provides a forum for knowledge sharing, collaboration, and discussion on current habitat conservation challenges and opportunities facing the province.
The 2026 NL Habitat Conservation Workshop focused on Species at Risk Conservation. Through presentations, discussions, and field experiences, attendees explored both the successes and challenges associated with conserving species at risk and their habitats in Newfoundland and Labrador. The Workshop highlighted the importance of science-based decision making, community stewardship, Indigenous perspectives, and cross-sector collaboration in supporting long-term conservation outcomes.
The inaugural 2025 NL Habitat Conservation Workshop focused on provincial wetland management practices and policy, bringing together a strong community of practice to promote knowledge sharing, foster collaboration, and advance action on wetland conservation. Building on the success of both workshops, SAM continues to explore future themes and opportunities to strengthen habitat conservation efforts throughout Newfoundland and Labrador.
