Who We Are

We collaborate with local and global partners to develop science-based solutions that help wildlife and people. We aim to make a difference by working with landowners, local communities, researchers, and other conservation organizations around the world. We engage with different levels of government to develop policies and practices that can yield scalable benefits for conservation in Canada and around the world. The work we do helps to protect endangered species, restore ecosystems, and improve human livelihoods. Our past successes give us the confidence to take on any challenges in the future. We know that conservation works, and we see immense hope when people join forces to make a difference. Together, we can restore balance for wildlife and human life for generations to come.
