Abstract

For the presence of the world’s oldest and largest fossil assemblages known, Mistaken Point Ecological Reserve (MPER) has been included in the Canadian Tentative list of potential UNESCO world heritage sites (WHS). To engage communities in the designation of MPER as a UNESCO WHS, visitors and residents attitudes toward the reserve were explored and facilitated workshops were carried out in 2010 and 2012.
