We work together across borders to tackle shared ecological challenges in the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem.
The Crown Managers Partnership (CMP) is a voluntary partnership amongst federal, state, provincial, Tribal, and First Nation agency managers and universities in Montana, Alberta, and British Columbia. We recognize that no single agency has the mandate or resources to wholly address common ecological challenges throughout the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem. We therefore work together across borders to tackle shared ecological challenges and concerns.
Wildlife, plants, rivers - nature does not recognize borders. We work together in a way that reflects that.
OUR MISSION
We foster collective stewardship of the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem by collaborating on common issues, sharing resources, and exchanging knowledge.
The Crown Managers Partnership (CMP) continues to foster collective, landscape-scale management guided by science and culture. We are inspired by the understanding that water, fish, and wildlife do not consider borders, and shared resources require shared management. Also, that Americans, Canadians, and sovereign Indigenous nations can work together to conserve this shared landscape for generations to come.
