Nature Canada
Nature Canada is the oldest member-based, non-profit nature conservation organization in Canada whose mission is to protect nature and the processes that sustain it. Based in Ottawa, Nature Canada's supporters include more than 40,000 individuals and over 350 affiliated organizations, including local and provincial naturalist clubs.
Nature Canada’s mission is to “protect and conserve wildlife and habitats in Canada by engaging people and advocating on behalf of nature.” . Their conservation work is based predominantly on community-based efforts to protect animals, plants and habitat, lobbying for legislation at the federal level to protect endangered species and habitats, and working as a Canadian co-partner for BirdLife International’s Important Bird Area (IBA) program.
