Wildlife Preservation Canada

Established in 1985, Wildlife Preservation Canada is a national charity devoted to saving endangered animal species facing imminent extinction in Canada – species whose numbers in the wild are so low that habitat protection alone is not enough. It is currently providing expert hands-on care to various reptile, amphibian, bird, and insect species at risk in projects ranging from the St. Lawrence/Great Lakes region to Vancouver Island, making it the only organization in Canada to perform such work in multiple species recovery efforts across the country. The Canadian Species Initiative was co-founded with African Lion Safari in 2019 to strengthen endangered species recovery planning and implementation in Canada. This multi-partner initiative uses proven facilitated multi-stakeholder workshop processes to develop integrated conservation plans for species requiring ex-situ management.
