Roberta Olenick

Roberta Olenick est une photographe de la faune basée à Vancouver et supportrice de longue date de CFC, récemment par le biais de dons de titres. Vous pouvez voir ses images à Never Spook the Animals Wildlife Photography, www.neverspook.com.

“I first learned of Wildlife Preservation Canada over twenty years ago when I was photographing prairie wildlife in Saskatchewan and WPC was involved with swift fox and burrowing owl recovery there. Je suis une supportrice depuis. Beaucoup trop d'espèces qui étaient relativement communes quand j'ai commencé à photographier en 1998 sont devenues de plus en plus rares et difficiles à trouver. Le travail de CFC pour rétablir la faune aide à diminuer ma profonde tristesse face à une telle perte. J'aime que PFC n'applique pas seulement ses techniques de reproduction et de libération en captivité de pointe aux espèces charismatiques à fourrure et plumées comme les renards et les hiboux, mais aussi aux animaux trop souvent sous-estimés y compris les serpents et les grenouilles (qui font partie de mes favoris personnels).  I also love that WPC trains young conservationists through its Canada’s New Noah program so they can continue WPC’s work of bringing wildlife back from the brink.”

The Westaway Charitable Foundation

The Westaway Charitable Foundation has been a generous Wildlife Preservation Canada supporter for over 20 years contributing to our direct, hands-on care and recovery efforts for endangered species. Beginning in 2002, the Westaway Foundation has provided valuable unrestricted support allowing WPC to direct the funds to the most urgent needs as identified by our Action Plan (updated annually). 

 Peter Westaway spent his early summers in Georgian Bay where he developed a profound interest in the wildlife of the area.

“Many of the species I knew there back in the 1950’s have disappeared or are endangered. For example,the eastern spotted turtle, once very common in Georgian Bay, is now found only at Long Point on Lake Erie. We feel it imperative to do whatever we can to preserve species such as  the eastern fox snake, which are endangered, and the work of WPC strives to do exactly that.”

Through their Foundation, Peter and Brigitte Westaway support a variety of health, environmental and arts organizations contributing to critical projects/programs across the country. We are grateful to the Westaway CharitableFoundation for their years of support and commitment to Canada’s endangered species.

« Chez TPH, nous sommes très fiers de notre partenariat avec Conservation de la faune au Canada par le biais de la marque de vêtements Sleeping Giant. CFC se tient comme le rayon d'espoir pour les espèces en péril de notre nation, des populations fragiles de grenouilles en Colombie-Britannique aux pollinisateurs vitaux qui disparaissent partout en Ontario. C'est un honneur de soutenir une organisation qui sert de dernière ligne de défense du Canada pour ces espèces précieuses, mettant en évidence notre engagement envers la préservation de la faune et l'intendance environnementale. »
