The Ojibway Prairie celebrates its first Earth Day as one of Canada\u2019s newest Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA). The KBA Canada Secretariat, after a lengthy review and vetting process, confirmed last spring that the Ojibway Prairie Complex and Greater Park Ecosystem in Windsor and LaSalle met all the stringent scientifically-based KBA criteria. This new status reaffirms what most nature enthusiasts in Windsor-Essex already know: that Ojibway Prairie is critical to the conservation of Canadian biodiversity. Recognized mainly for its globally rare tallgrass prairies and oak savannahs, the 26 km<span class=\"s1\">2<\/span> site also boasts deciduous forests and provincially significant wetlands. Although bisected by urban and industrial land uses, including a busy road network, the Ojibway Prairie KBA is recognized for supporting nationally significant populations of 3 snake species, 3 insect and spider species, and 11 plant species. In fact, 4 of the plant species cannot be found anywhere else in Canada, and 1 insect species cannot be found anywhere else in the world!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">KBA designations aren\u2019t easily achieved. The lengthy and gruelling process began back in June 2020 when Jonathan Choquette and his team at Wildlife Preservation Canada (WPC) began investigating the process for making a nomination. \u201cA lot of research went into the pre-submission stage to make sure we had our facts straight, that the species list was accurate, and that the site boundaries were ecologically-based\u201d, says Dr. Choquette, Lead Biologist with WPC. His team assembled and submitted the 20-page nomination package in July 2021. Wildlife Conservation Society Canada worked with WPC onthe nomination, by providing key inputs at various stages during the review process. Input was also incorporated from local First Nations communities, who are recognized as the traditional stewards and caretakers of the Ojibway Prairie area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Key Biodiversity Area (KBA) and National Urban Park (NUP) designations differ. The KBA designation is entirely ecologically based. It is a process vetted by scientists, naturalists and land managers to identify the most important sites for biodiversity in Canada, based on the presence of concentrations of rare plants and animals within a distinct geographical area. The Ojibway Prairie KBA process has identified the 17 most important plants and animals to target as part of species recovery, habitat restoration, and threat mitigation initiatives in the future National Urban Park. Also, the KBA site boundary will provide ecologically-based guidance when finalizing the National Urban Park boundaries. \u201cThere has long been recognition of the importance of the rare and diverse remnant natural areas on Windsor\u2019s west side, but protection and stewardship has at times been disjointed and uncoordinated. KBA recognition will help to focus national and international attention on the importance of the Ojibway Prairie, and will help to support a vision for an expanded, protected and connected Ojibway Prairie National Urban Park, that considers needs of people and the most unique and threatened species within it.\u201d, said Dr. Peter Soroye from Wildlife Conservation Society Canada. Ojibway joins 167 other designated KBAs across the country.

Canada has one of the world\u2019s first comprehensive national programs to identify KBAs and was the first country to adapt the Global KBA Standard to a national context. The KBA Canada initiative is jointly coordinated by Birds Canada, NatureServe Canada, and WCS Canada, and involves and large coalition of non-governmental organizations, governments, Indigenous partners, academic institutions, experts and knowledge-holders that are engaged in the work of identifying, delineating and reviewing KBAs. To date, almost 1,000 sites have been identified as potential KBAs across Canada.
