Wildlife Preservation Canada’s mission is to save animal species at risk from extinction in Canada.
We do this by:
- performing hands-on work with species requiring direct intervention to recover, and
- providing opportunities for Canadian conservation scientists to grow their expertise in working with animal species at risk while adding to the overall body of knowledge on the subject.
Since our founding in 1985 by the late author and internationally-celebrated naturalist Gerald Durrell, we’ve been applying science-based solutions to species recovery efforts and delivering measurable results.
We work in partnership with other organizations, and are governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees.
Eighty per cent of our revenue goes into programs, consisting of our hands-on species conservation
projects and the Canada’s New Noah program. For more detailed information, read our Annual Report.
