Purchase your Symbolic Stamp Today!
Wildlife and habitat conservation are more important today than ever and demand for conservation funding has skyrocketed. Every stamp purchased, symbolically or otherwise, provides much-needed funds to conservation projects across Canada through the Canadian Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamp program, providing grants to the organizations that are safeguarding Canada’s wildlife and wild places.
Through stories from across Canada, from Salt Spring Island to Prince Edward Island, we highlight habitat conservation, restoration and education, while showcasing the important role waterfowl hunters play as stewards of the land. At its core, the film is a reminder that the Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamp helps protect real places, and that conservation itself is an art.

Who we are
For the future of wildlife and people.
Wildlife Habitat Canada is a national, non-profit, charitable conservation organization that envisions a future where Canadians share a conservation ethic that recognizes the fundamental importance of wildlife habitats that are abundant, rich and support biodiversity.
This work matters because healthy habitats are essential to life itself, supporting clean water, climate resilience, and biodiversity. Protecting these natural spaces ensures wildlife can continue to thrive and that future generations inherit a Canada where nature remains abundant and enduring. Connect. Protect. Together.

Wildlife Habitat Canada is dedicated to nurturing abundant and diverse wildlife populations across the nation, achieved through strategic collaboration and informed conservation investments. At the core of our mission is the conservation of vital habitats, with a special focus on wetlands, upland habitats, and the protection of ecologically sensitive lands.
Our objectives include leveraging conservation funding, restoring habitats to preserve wildlife diversity, and leading collaborative efforts within the Canadian conservation community.
Our strategic priorities involve working alongside conservation partners to amplify our impact, supporting national conservation and climate initiatives, and encouraging Canadians to actively engage in nature conservation. By doing so, we aim to ensure the conservation and protection of Canadian wildlife habitats, foster a deeper connection between Canadians and nature, and establish Wildlife Habitat Canada as a beacon of conservation leadership, ensuring a legacy of diverse and healthy wildlife for generations to come.
