Natural Areas Converted for Human Use in the Islands Trust Area
Once land is converted for human use, that land is less available for nature. As land
conversion reaches or goes above a 30-40% threshold, the number of species in a
given habitat decline more rapidly.

Conservation status of
Hornby Island Local Trust Area
The Hornby Island Local Trust Area is one of 13 local trust areas
and island municipalities that make up the Islands Trust Area.
The Hornby Island Local Trust Area, located 31 km southeast of
Courtenay, includes the associated islands of Toby Island, Flora
Islet and Norris Rocks. It is within the traditional territories of
numerous First Nations who have cared for these lands and
waters since time immemorial.
The Hornby Island Local Trust Area’s beautiful and vibrant
islands, home to some of the rarest ecosystems in the world,
are under threat from development, climate change and
habitat degradation. The Islands Trust Conservancy does
“nature check-ups” to measure the state of island ecosystems
to see how well we are meeting the Islands Trust’s mandate
to “preserve and protect”. Guided by a science-based Regional
Conservation Plan, our work is important because, like the
species and habitats that support us, the quality of human
life depends on ecosystem health. We all have a part to play
in protecting these fragile islands in the Salish Sea for future
generations.
