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.
The “butcher bird” now has Bluetooth
When eastern loggerhead shrikes are released back to the wild by our dedicated field team, we rely on radio tags to know where these birds travel during their migration seasons. These tags use a network of radio towers (the Motus network) to relay their location back to us. Cellular Tracking Technologies (CTT) have developed a new type of radio tag that not only connects to the Motus network, but also comes with the ability to connect to any cell phones with Bluetooth and location services on! This gives us more opportunities to know where the “butcher bird” flies away to! By better understanding these birds’ migration patterns, we can further protect this unique songbird.
