In addition to the challenge of restructuring our field work so that WPC could continue saving species safely, we all found ourselves more aware of the importance of nature and wildlife in our daily lives. Working from home, my own backyard became a haven and I have been amazed at how many species shared this space with me that I had previously not been aware of. This affirmation of the importance of nature to our wellbeing has strengthened WPC\u2019s resolve to be Canada\u2019s last defence for endangered species.<\/p>\n<p>Despite challenges, 2020 was a significant year for WPC.
