><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As 2025 draws to a close, I\u2019ve been reflecting on the ways Wildlife Preservation Canada has given back to nature over our 40 years of conservation. Not only am I reminded that our community has the power to achieve meaningful conservation together, but I am also reminded of something very important within myself\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>That moment of reflection is rooted in a longer story &#8211; one that began forty years ago<\/strong> with a conservationist who believed action mattered more than intention. Wildlife Preservation Canada was founded in 1985 by Gerald Durrell, a lifelong conservationist often mentioned alongside Sir David Attenborough, who believed a hands-on approach was key to saving the rarest of rare species. WPC is just one piece of the legacy he left behind: the Jersey Zoo, the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, and the Durrell Conservation Academy. As we continue our work, we proudly carry the torch for Gerald Durrell, and as our 40th year serendipitously coincides with Gerry\u2019s centenary, we remember that <strong>we have the power to change the outcome for endangered animals.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rooted in those values and founded in action, WPC hasn\u2019t wavered. Over two decades ago, we answered the call to rescue the <strong>la pie-gri\u00e8che migratrice de l\u2019Est<\/strong>, a songbird that had nearly disappeared from Canada. We can confidently say that today they are still around because of our work. Our work with the <strong>la tortue peinte de l'Ouest<\/strong> in British Columbia, began in 2012 and shows no sign of slowing down. From conservation breeding to protecting eggs from at-risk nests, our direct, hands-on approach has given more than 2,000 western painted turtles back to B.C.\u2019s Fraser valley. With the successes of this program, <strong>our work is expanding<\/strong> beyond the Fraser Valley wetlands and into the Sunshine Coast, promising that one of Canada\u2019s most beautiful turtles will thrive despite the odds. These are just two of our world-class conservation programs making a difference for endangered species.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Summarizing decades of successful conservation work in a few paragraphs is a tough feat. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">L'approche  \u00ab <strong>most significant thing to be emphasized is the difference made through hands-on conservation.<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> When we give animals back directly to nature, we are giving them a future. These species will be able to continue on for generations, keeping\u00a0 ecosystems intact and rebuilding Canada\u2019s biodiversity. As of now, <strong>WPC has returned over 97,000 animals from 21 species back to nature, and in doing so, 12 species have been saved from the threat of extinction.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But numbers alone cannot capture what sets Wildlife Preservation Canada apart. <strong>Our staff have devoted years, often decades of their lives<\/strong>, to the species they protect. This calling, a long-term commitment shared across our teams, is what allows WPC to deliver conservation results that last. Restoring a species while also protecting and rebuilding habitats they depend on, restores entire ecosystems, safeguarding them for the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Standing before such a profound legacy, I feel not only immense pride in being part of this organization but I\u2019m also hit with a sense of emotional deja vu. Growing up reading Gerald Durrell\u2019s books, my lifelong dream was to one day work at the Jersey Zoo. When I was offered the position of Canada\u2019s New Noah in 1997, my life changed forever. Supporting species conservation overseas and simultaneously training the next generation of Canadian biologists, WPC\u2019s Canada&#8217;s New Noah program, is pioneering a new chapter of wildlife conservation like no other. It was in this program that I was surrounded by people who felt as I did &#8211; <strong>every species is worth saving and more importantly, <\/strong><\/span><strong><i>can<\/i><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong> be saved.<\/strong> Looking back at my journey as it coincides with WPC&#8217;s, I\u2019m reminded of something I had nearly forgotten about myself: a deep need to belong to something greater than myself &#8211; something I believe many of you, and people everywhere, can connect with deeply.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With 2026 on the horizon, I look to the future with optimism. I know that our hands-on conservation model has the power to shape a promising future for Canada\u2019s wildlife, the wildlife that depends on us. Every day, WPC says no to extinction, and with our dedicated teams, supporters, and partners by our side, we remind the world that every species, no matter how rare, deserves a fighting chance, and that <strong>we\u2019ll be there.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-1c28nfn-b43226128f209289cfc90758c79f8147 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  blog-inner avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-51505'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-rs2n4z-8fed8e8a96cdfebce06b2081ea3cf81e av_one_full  avia-builder-el-8  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  author-section first flex_column_div'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lhhwhp6e-a690ccf4b4f4aac4efe348d582491d6a'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 style=\"text-align: left\">Dr. Lance Woolaver Jr.<\/h3>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left\">Directeur ex\u00e9cutif<\/h5>\n<p>Lance joined Wildlife Preservation Canada in 2017, bringing with him 18 years of experience managing recovery programs for some of the world\u2019s most\u00a0<a class=\"glossaryLink\" href=\"https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/fr\/glossary\/endangered\/\" data-cmtooltip=\"(E) A wildlife species facing imminent extirpation or extinction.\">menac\u00e9s<\/a> species.
