| Wildlife Habitat Canada works to conserve, restore and enhance wildlife
habitat in Canada. We fund habitat conservation projects, promote
conservation action and foster coordination among conservation groups.
Each year (since 1985) a waterfowl painting, created by a Canadian
wildlife artist, is selected as the Canadian Wildlife Habitat Conservation
Stamp. The vast majority of stamps are purchased by hunters to validate
their the migratory Game Bird Hunting Permit. The majority of proceeds
from these sales fund WHC's grant program. Stamps and prints are
also purchased by individuals and collectors to raise funds for
wildlife habitat conservation.
In addition to the revenue from the Habitat Conservation stamps
and prints, WHC raises additional funds from a variety of governmental
and industry partners to undertake specific activities and projects.
