The Wildlife Preservation Canada is seeking applications for its grant program to support captive breeding, reintroduction and/or translocation in recovery efforts of terrestrial animal species at risk. It is a dynamic non-profit charitable organization devoted to saving highly endangered animal species facing imminent extinction in Canada and internationally.
This organization works in collaboration with appointed recovery teams and other organizations. Their partners include federal and provincial ministries and parks, habitat-oriented charities and land trusts, zoos, universities and colleges, and local grassroots volunteer groups.

The Wildlife Preservation Canada is the only organization in Canada to provide this critical need for multiple species in multiple recovery efforts across the country. A special priority for WPC is training young scientists to create a network of skilled professionals to drive conservation efforts in Canada and around the world for decades to come.
