3 Vision Na#ve prairie and complementary habitat in the South of the Divide region of south- western Saskatchewan is managed and conserved as part of the province s history and iden#ty. Through our collabora#on we enable species at risk within the South of the Divide to thrive on working landscapes, providing environmental and economic benefits for all.
4 Mission The S.O.D. Conserva#on Ac#on Program will champion partnerships for coordinated and innova#ve land management prac#ces that sustain and recover mul#ple species at risk and their habitats in the South of the Divide region of south- west Saskatchewan, in balance with sustainable land and resource use.
