Wildlife Preservation Trust Canada/

Wildlife preservation canada exists to save animal species at risk from extinction in canada by performing hands-on action for species requiring direct intervention to recover. Wpc build canada's conservation capacity by providing opportunities for canadian conservation scientists to increase their expertise working with species-at-risk and advancing conservation science by developing new methods for species recovery. Our toolkit includes techniques such as conservation breeding head starting and re-introduction. We are the only environmental ngo in canada to provide such hands-on care to multiple species in multiple projects across the country. Wpc recognizes the local communities are critical to the long-term sustainable future success of conservation programs and engage communities in our programs through outreach and education. The majority of our work consists of species recovery projects carried out in partnership with zoos universities other charities and government agencies. In some cases grants are awarded to partners in order to support their work. Many of our recovery projects provide internships or similar jobs for young scientists allowing them to gain invaluable experience working with species at risk.
