Help Make the South Okanagan-Similkameen National Park a Reality!

Pride in the Past, Faith in the Future

Why a national park?

This is Canada's only desert ecosystem - one of the highest priorities for conservation in Canada. Over 1/3 of BC's threatened and endangered species live here - birds, mammals, and plants found nowhere else in Canada, including the Flammulated owl, Lyall's mariposa lilly, and the Great Basin spadefoot. Shrub-grasslands and ponderosa grasslands are found in no other Canadian national park. National parks provide the highest level of protection to public lands. National parks make economic sense. They contribute $1.2-billion to the GCP each year. The natural environments of the South Okanagan Similkameen are among the most endangered in Canada.
