Canada is home to many incredible wildlife species and you can help the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) celebrate National Wildlife Week from April 8 - 14 by getting to know some of our country’s amazing animals.
Since 1962, NCC and its partners have helped to protect more than 2.6 million acres of important, biologically diverse natural lands from coast to coast. By protecting these areas for the long term, NCC is making sure that our natural world remains a home for the plants and animals that live there.
