What Is A2A?

WHAT IS the a2a region?

The A2A region is the area connecting and encompassing Algonquin Park in
Ontario and Adirondack Park in New York. The region has extremely high
biodiversity, with five overlapping forest systems. And because of its remaining
forest and wetland cover and the Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence River, it is the best path for south to north wildlife movement in eastern North America,
ultimately connecting the Appalachians with the Boreal forests. Once connected, the A2A region can sustain ecological integrity, and provide an improved wildlife
corridor to support migration. An intact A2A region with wetland and forest cover
can also mitigate the impacts of climate change, such as drought, wildfires and
flooding. Learn more about OUR VISION here....

HOW DOES A2A WORK?

Thanks to the tireless efforts of our committee, volunteers, partners and donors, we are working through a multi-faceted approach, including trail designation, policy work, scientific research and information-sharing, and community outreach and education.

WHY SHOULD A2A MATTER TO ME?

If you enjoy clean water, clean air, and delicious, healthful locally grown food, then you are already reaping the benefits of the A2A bioregion. Canadian biodiversity is down by more than 60% in the last 40 years. We all need to work together in order to preserve and even add to the remaining natural areas that we currently have.

Besides, A2A provides lots of recreation opportunities as well as local economic development possibilities.
