The Nature Conservancy Of Canada

The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) is a non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov with a primary focus on conservation and habitat protection across multiple Canadian provinces. Founded to preserve critical ecological landscapes, NCC works extensively in environmental preservation, particularly in wetland and upland habitat conservation. The organization is dedicated to protecting and managing critical ecosystems that support migratory birds, wildlife, and biodiversity across Canada's varied landscapes, including prairie, boreal, coastal, and inter-mountain regions.

Through federal grant awards from the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, specifically the North American Wetlands Conservation Fund (CFDA 15.623), NCC has consistently delivered comprehensive conservation projects across six Canadian provinces. These projects involve securing high-priority wetland and upland habitats through fee-simple land acquisitions and perpetual conservation easements, with recent grants targeting regions like Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador. Typical project deliverables include permanently protecting thousands of acres of habitat, enhancing breeding and feeding areas for waterfowl and migratory birds, managing previously secured lands, and supporting broader ecological objectives such as carbon sequestration, flood mitigation, and habitat restoration. The grants focus on specific joint venture areas like the Eastern Habitat Joint Venture, Prairie Habitat Joint Venture, Pacific Birds Habitat Joint Venture, and Canadian Inter Mountain Joint Venture, with projects designed to support sustainable bird populations, protect species at risk, and maintain biodiversity across Canadian landscapes.
