Everyone thinks that some agency, probably a government funded one, protects and cares for wild animals in distress. This is not the case at all! Although in Canada and in the U.S. wildlife is legally protected by Federal and Provincial (or State) agencies, no government agency is responsible for the rescue, treatment and release of injured or orphaned wildlife. Cochrane Ecological Institute's Swift Fox Reintroduction programs began in 1972 under the direction of Beryl and Miles Smeeton. Since that time 0ver 800 Swift fox were reintroduced to the Canadian Prairie. This has resulted in the Species being downlisted by the Canadian Government from Extirpated to Endangered. WHALEFORCE was started, by the CEI, in 1988 as an international Cetacean survey using blue-water and coastal racing and cruising yachtsmen/women as participants.

Somenos Marsh is a fascinating, rich and diverse wetland complex lying at the geographic, demographic, and economic centre of the Cowichan Valley.

The Somenos Marsh Conservation Area is located in North Cowichan, BC, on the north edge of Duncan. It is about a one-hour drive north from Victoria and one hour south of Nanaimo, via Highway 1, the Trans-Canada Highway.

Looking for an intelligent, meaningful way to contribute to a cleaner, healthier, more sustainable future? Donate to Alberta Ecotrust. Here’s why: We will direct 100% of all donations from individuals to funding non-profit groups around the province. Your dollars will go a long way when added to those of other donors to support local, volunteer driven non-profit groups who clean up streams, set up recycling centres, raise awareness and protect habitat for threatened species. The social value and impact of your investment is even greater as it will advance policy, education, practices and processes that help the smallest of stewardship groups achieve big mandates. Your contribution will also support mentorship and training of nonprofit groups through one-on-one coaching, webinars, workshops and events.

Erie Wildlife Rescue (EWR) is a volunteer-based registered charity, incorporated in 1979. For over 30 years EWR has been providing rehabilitation services to all species of wildlife native to southwestern Ontario. EWR members are dedicated to the treatment and temporary care of injured or orphaned indigenous wildlife, and the subsequent release of healthy animals into appropriate habitats in the wild. We educate the public, promote the value of wildlife and the environment, and encourage positive interactions between people and wildlife. We serve not just the needs of wildlife, but also the needs of the public who ask for our assistance. EWR volunteers answer thousands of inquiries each year. The concerns expressed by these callers may be for the wildlife itself, for personal safety, or for the safety of property. Over 500 birds, mammals and reptiles received treatment from EWR in 2012.
