Over the past two years, MNAI partnered with a group of 6 communities in 3 provinces to explore how healthy natural assets – such as wetlands, forests, ponds – could help address issues such as increased and severe flooding, the impact of urban development, tourism and its impact on drinking water quantity and quality, sediment, erosion, etc. Understanding what services natural assets provide, the economic value of those services, and how climate change affects them allows local governments to better plan for the future.
