Wildlife Preservation Canada
Canada’s last defence
for endangered
species.
For dozens of Canadian species at risk, habitat protection alone is not enough. Wildlife Preservation Canada’s mission is to save animal species at risk from extinction in Canada by providing direct, hands-on care.
We are the only organization in Canada to provide this critical need for multiple species in multiple recovery efforts across the country. We specialize in science-based techniques such as conservation breeding and release, reintroduction and translocation. Our Action Plan is based on the urgency of the need and is updated annually.
Pollinator Photo Contest – CLOSED
Who will be this year’s winner?
Each year, Wildlife Preservation Canada hosts a Pollinator Photo Contest during Pollinator Week to celebrate our busy bees, butterflies, and other native insect pollinators.
Now that all pollinator photos entries have been submitted, our panel of judges are selecting the top 3 photos that will move on to public voting round. That means it will be up to YOU to decide who wins the 2026 Pollinator Photo Contest!
Stay tuned, voting will be opening soon.
