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.
Support Sheila Colla’s Legacy
Sheila Colla dedicated her life to protecting Canada’s native pollinators and inspiring others to turn science into action.
This July marks one year since her passing. We’re proud to honour her extraordinary legacy through the launch of the Sheila Colla Pollinator Research Conservation Fund: a permanent scholarship supporting graduate students studying at-risk pollinators across Canada.
To respect Sheila’s passion and advocacy, the fund will prioritize awards to students belonging to historically excluded groups in STEM, including women and racialized communities.
By investing in the next generation of conservation leaders, we can ensure Sheila’s vision continues to shape the future of pollinator conservation for decades to come.
