In British Columbia, for example, these included not only the Pacific Coast Joint Venture under NAWMP, but also the Greenfields Project in the Fraser Delta, the Pacific Coast Estuary Program, and the Lower Fraser River Action Plan. The Prairie Conservation Action Plan brought together a broad alliance of partners^^ to sponsor, among other things, the development of a landown- er's guide to the conservation of prairie grasslands. The native grassland ecoregions having been almost entirely converted to human use, there are more endangered species and habitats concentrated in the surviving remnants than anywhere else in Canada. The 92-page book, written by Garry Trottier of CWS, provides a convenient and infor- mative guide to Canadian grassland ecosystems, a call to stewardship action, and valuable how-to information on assessing and restoring native prairie habitat.^"* The Action Plan model, involving large numbers of stakeholders, from federal and provincial govern- ment departments to individual landowners, has been applied, with appropriate regional variations, across much of Canada.
