Nature makes it possible

Together we can unlock nature’s power so life can thrive

Our mission and impact

Protecting nature takes bold action. For more than 60 years, we have brought supporters and partners together to protect and care for nature across Canada at an extraordinary scale. Now we’re accelerating conservation to do even more for nature and people.

    $1 billion invested in nature

    Together, we’ve invested more than $1 billion in nature, permanently protecting natural areas equivalent to three times the size of New Brunswick.

Our core priorities

Nature has the power to safeguard life on Earth. That’s why our conservation priorities focus on protecting and restoring the places that matter most — building healthy, resilient ecosystems for wildlife, people and future generations. As biodiversity loss and climate change accelerate, we’re stepping up our pace and setting bold goals so nature can thrive for years to come.

Water is life. And it begins with land.

Every day, wetlands are drained, shorelines are altered and the watersheds that supply our drinking water disappear.  

The good news? Protecting land works. And your gift makes it possible.  

Donate now to conserve an additional 1 million hectares of nature by 2030 and protect the water that gives us life.
