Our Impact

overview

The Biosphere Institute of the Bow Valley empowers community leadership to address environmental challenges.

Our work addresses human-wildlife coexistence and climate change through three core programs: WildSmart Community Program, Shift Climate Transitions, and Future Leaders youth education.

We also serve as a community hub where citizens can access local environmental information, learn about how to get involved in conservation programs, and build ideas for new community-led initiatives.WildSmart

The WildSmart Community Program promotes a culture of safety and respect for our wild neighbors. Through diverse education and training programs, WildSmart staff and volunteers teach youth, residents, local businesses and visitors how to coexist with grizzly bears, cougars, wolves, elk, coyotes and other wildlife. WildSmart also seeks to tackle some of the challenging “human dimensions” issues related to wildlife-related communications, attitudes, and behaviours.
