Our Mandate

We support conservation initiatives for wildlife and their habitats.  Our grant program has been providing funds that support habitat restoration, enhancement and protection all over Canada since 1985.

As members of various international and national conservation committees and councils, our aim is to impact the decisions that directly affect biodiversity in wildlife and habitats as part of the solutions to climate change.
