— AND INTEGRATE IT INTO ALL DECISIONS

Workshops for Biodiversity (APLB)

We are a nonprofit organization that works to engage stakeholders in Quebec to make biodiversity a key consideration in their decision-making.

We achieve this mission by designing and organizing workshops and training courses on biodiversity, and by working on concrete projects to mainstream it into the practices and decisions of Quebec stakeholders, with the aim of achieving transformative change.

Our values: collaboration, openness, humility and optimism.

Our vision: A world where biodiversity is considered in every decision.

“I was really impressed by the quality of the workshop and its facilitators. I learned a lot, surprisingly more than I thought. I really like learning this content in a group and then having the opportunity to reflect on what we can do collectively to improve the fate of biodiversity, of our future. Congrats! »
