Activities
Site-specific habitat conservation actions will be supported at chosen locations, with an emphasis on land securement or habitat enhancement.

The Working for Wildlife Habitat Conservation Project will provide grants to individuals or community-based groups for high-priority projects that contribute to the conservation of wildlife habitats with a particular emphasis on wetland habitats.

Individuals and not-for-profit organizations are eligible (e.g. natural history society, university).

The Working for Wildlife Habitat Conservation Project will fund projects under the following areas:

• Implementation of conservation actions where a clear need is identified in an existing conservation or management plan;
• Habitat enhancement, rehabilitation or restoration projects;
• Negotiation of easements or landowner stewardship agreements;
• Land acquisition where title will be vested with a provincial wildlife organization.

The Working for Wildlife Habitat Conservation Project will not fund:

• Regular activities of an organization (e.g. annual meeting);
• Research and monitoring activities; or
• Projects taking place outside of Canada.

Specific Habitat Products/Results to be Supported by WHC's Contributions
Specific results will be specified in the project proposals for each of the specific sites.

Benefits to Wildlife
Benefits to wildlife, and the species targeted, will be identified in site-specific proposals.

Relevance to Habitat Planning, Decision Making and/or Management
Outcomes will be identified in site-specific proposals.

Project Location
Project sites will be chosen by program staff of the Canadian Wildlife Federation in consultation with professional staff of Wildlife Habitat Canada and the applicable provincial organizations, with a focus on the four western provinces.
