WWF-Canada’s 10-year plan to Regenerate Canada aims to expand large-scale resilient habitats, undertake complex ecosystem restoration, and reduce or eliminate industrial impacts and, as a result, reverse wildlife and biodiversity loss and fight climate change.

In partnership and collaboration with First Nations, Inuit and Metis, local communities, Federal, Provincial and Territorial governments, and where appropriate the mining sector, the Specialist will work to increase habitat viability and ecosystem carbon storage and sequestration by reducing disruptive impacts from the mining cycle including via claim staking and exploration activities, habitat destructive mine development, related infrastructure such as shipping and transportation corridors, and failure to adequately complete post mine restoration to ensure complex ecosystem regeneration and maintenance.

- Provide expertise on mineral extraction laws, policies, and regulations in Canada, and suggest approaches to resource management including, but not limited to critical mineral strategies (federal and provincial), the federal Impact Assessment Act, provincial approaches to impact assessment, and regulatory structures around each of the steps in the mining sequence (e.g. consultation and engagement, claim staking, exploration/evaluation, mine development and production, mine closure, and restoration and rehabilitation).
- Collaborate and provide guidance on wildlife and industry issues to WWF-Canada’s other Conservation units and other divisions including Marketing & Communications, and Development.
- Track progress towards WWF-Canada’s Regenerate Canada goals and targets using established indicators, and actively support a culture of accountability for execution and results.
