Invasive-Wise Tourism Certification
CERTIFICATION
ISCBC has worked in partnership with a diverse group of
tourism industry professionals with funding from the Canada Nature Fund for
Aquatic Species at Risk to develop the Invasive-Wise Tourism program, a
behavior-change program for the tourism industry. The overall goal of the
program is to protect species at risk and BC’s rich biodiversity from the
threats of invasive species by focusing on high-risk pathways such as movement
by tourists, anglers, boaters, floatplanes, and recreationists.
Tourism and Invasive Species is an engaging and interactive
eLearning training course developed exclusively for tourism operators and staff
to increase awareness around invasive species and identify practical actions to
prevent the spread of invasive species.
The objectives of the course are to:
• Understand
the impacts of invasive species on tourism in BC
• Learn the
connections between tourism and invasive species
• Identify
practical best management practices to prevent the spread of invasive species
Please allow 20-30 to complete the course.
You can stop and return to your spot if necessary and you
can return to the course at any time if you want to review or complete a
section. Please use speakers or headphones as audio is included and disable
pop-ups for the best user experience.
The final quiz requires a pass mark of 60% to obtain your
certificate of completion. You have unlimited attempts.
Upon completion of this course, tourism operators will
receive Invasive-Wise certification through ISCBC, as well as access to free
resources for operators, staff, and clientele including identification guides,
rack cards, and wallet cards.
A special thanks to our current Invasive-Wise partners for
their commitment to protecting BC’s biodiversity!
Congrats! You're now enrolled!
