Our Work

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 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, Wildlife Habitat Canada raises additional funds from a variety of governmental and industry partners to undertake specific activities and projects.

Our work program is organized around our three main objectives to:

Fund Habitat Conservation

• our Grant Program helps our Partners implement Conservation Projects across Canada
  

Promote Conservation Action

• our National Stewardship Awards program

Promote Conservation Coordination

• participating in the North American Waterfowl Management Plan
