Nature Makes it Possible
Life on Earth has changed. We are facing a crisis of climate change and species loss that threatens our way of life, and our future. But there is hope, and a solution that’s right before our eyes. A solution far bigger, and far more powerful, than the challenges themselves: nature.
Nature is, and always has been the answer. It sustains us. It is resilient. It has the power to heal and inspire. Look at the waters that wave and the mountains that have stood for a million moments; the collective life of these very things enables us to live ours. But it’s never been about one tree, one creek or one person. We know the power of coming together is what allows us to create real, tangible change.
At the Nature Conservancy of Canada, we are doers. Changemakers. Collaborators. And together, we can protect nature and champion its amazing ability to care for people and communities. So, let’s unite to conserve, restore and care for nature. Let’s rise to this challenge and unlock nature’s power, so life on Earth can not only continue to exist, but can thrive.
Our Impact
The Nature Conservancy of Canada science-based approach focuses on areas of great environmental impact and areas most relied upon by at-risk species. The protected areas and the ongoing restoration work will help lessen the effects of climate change.
Results You Can Walk On
- In partnership with the Tallcree Tribal Government and the government of Alberta we facilitated the creation of the Birch River Wildland Provincial Park which is part of the largest stretch of protected boreal forest on the planet and a haven for 68 species of conservation concern.
- Conserved vast tracts of grassland habitat in one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world, at Zen-Ridge in southern Saskatchewan.
- Restored hundreds of acres of grassland and open forest in BC’s Rocky Mountain Trench Natural Area. Restoring the natural open structure of these forests improves habitat for wildlife and many at-risk species.
- Protected expansive undeveloped shoreline of Big Trout Bay, on the north shore of Lake Superior. The densely foresting land here is crucial to several native species, including peregrine falcon, once almost extinct.
