Deadline: 1 November 2016
Wildlife Habitat Canada (WHC) is seeking applications for its Grant Program to support the purchase of the Canadian Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamp (also known as the Canadian Duck Stamp). The Stamp, which validates the Migratory Game Bird Hunting Permit, is purchased primarily by waterfowl hunters. Proceeds from the Stamp are transferred to WHC for on-the-ground habitat conservation and stewardship efforts, through the support of the Canadian Wildlife Service of Environment and Climate Change Canada.
WHC has invested over $50 million supporting more than 1,500 conservation projects across Canada. Working with multiple partners across the nation, WHC leverages over three times the amount invested for conservation work through this grant program (i.e., over $150 million).
