Current Projects

Sea turtle

Gerardo, Sea Turtle Protection Project

Gerardo is just one of the local children taking part in the Sea Turtle Protection Project! Along with local leaders, this amazing group of kids are helping to monitor nests, clean up the beaches, and release endangered hatchlings into the wild. Support their work by adopting a sea turtle!

Red fox

Kristyn Ferguson, Ontario Conservation Accelerator (OCA)

Meet Kristyn! She’s a nature hero, helping connect Ontario’s forests, fields, and wetlands so animals like the red fox have safe places to live. Thanks to her work, wildlife are better able to find food, homes, and pathways to travel—today and for years to come!

Arctic Fox

Emmanuelle Gouin, Université du Québec à Rimouski

Meet Emmanuelle! Working in the high Arctic, she’s investigating how warming temperatures are impacting snow buntings, a prey species for the Arctic fox. Their populations have dropped drastically in the last 45 years, and understanding why will be critical in ensuring the continued survival of this species and predator animals like the Arctic fox.

Snowy owl

Kristyn Ferguson, Ontario Conservation Accelerator (OCA)

Meet Kristyn! She’s a nature hero, helping connect Ontario’s forests, fields, and wetlands so animals like the snowy owl have safe places to live. Thanks to her work, wildlife are better able to find food, homes, and pathways to travel—today and for years to come!

Beaver

Sarah Baylif, Nature Conservancy of Canada

Meet Sarah! She manages the conservation of the Bunchgrass Hills Conservation Area, a vast landscape of native grasslands, forests, and wetlands south of Kamloops in British Columbia that’s home to all kinds of plants and animals. Support her work by adopting a beaver!

Mallard

Cat Goltz, Ducks Unlimited Canada

Meet Cat! She’s leading research with Ducks Unlimited Canada to study prairie wetlands and protect the animals, like mallards, that depend on them. Her team is using drones and DNA analysis to track wildlife and wetland health, helping to keep this critical ecosystem thriving for ducks, people, and the planet.

Bumblebee

Sarah Baylif , Nature Conservancy of Canada

Meet Sarah! She manages the conservation of the Bunchgrass Hills Conservation Area, a vast landscape of native grasslands, forests, and wetlands south of Kamloops in British Columbia that’s home to all kinds of plants and animals. Support her work by adopting a bumblebee!

River Otter

Kristyn Ferguson, Ontario Conservation Accelerator (OCA)

Meet Kristyn! She’s a nature hero, helping connect Ontario’s forests, fields, and wetlands so animals like river otters have safe places to live. Thanks to her work, wildlife are better able to find food, homes, and pathways to travel—today and for years to come!

Walrus

Reyd Smith, Carleton University

Meet Reyd! She’s working on a project to better understand how oil contaminants are impacting the animals exposed to them, including the walrus. This work will be critical to guiding future conservation policies that will protect the fragile ecosystems animals like the walrus call home.

Beluga

Patrick, researcher at Dalhousie University

Meet Patrick! He’s studying how phytoplankton, the microscopic creatures that form the basis of the Arctic food web, are being affected by rising ocean temperatures. Learning more about how these foundational organisms respond to a warming Arctic will help us better understand the broader impacts of climate change on the ocean ecosystem as a whole, all the way up to top predators like beluga whales.

Completed Projects

Jaguar

Osa Conservation

Osa Conservation is an incredible team of scientists and conservationists, dedicated to protecting Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula! This diverse rainforest ecosystem is threatened by hunting and human activity. Adopt a jaguar to help safeguard the habitat of these apex predators.

Harbor Seal

At The Marine Mammal Center, orphaned seal pups are treated in isolated units where they’re protected from stress. They’re fed healthy meals (like milk formula and fish smoothies – yum!) until they move on to eating whole fish. Once they’re back to full health and have learned to hunt and dive on their own, they’re released back into the wild to live a happy life for years to come!

Lynx

Sandra Yaacoub, Queens University

Meet Sandra! She and a team of researchers are studying the forest in southwest Yukon, which is home to a variety of plants and animals. Support her work by adopting a lynx!

Grizzly Bear

British Columbia’s Rocky Mountain Trench is home to some of Canada’s most famous, and endangered, animals. Adopt a grizzly bear to support a team of scientists and researchers from the Nature Conservancy of Canada, including Land Stewardship Manager Julia Poetschke. They’re all working hard to restore this important ecosystem.

Flying squirrel

Megan Quinn, Nature Conservancy of Canada

Meet Megan! She’s working with a team of researchers to maintain and conserve the Ottawa Valley Natural Area, a region of vital habitats in Ontario. Adopt a snowy owl to support her efforts!

Caribou

Claudia Haas, Wilfrid Laurier University

Meet Claudia! She’s a biologist working in the Northwest Territories. Claudia is observing the relationships between animals in this vital region. Support her work by adopting a caribou!

Grey wolf

Karl-Antoine Hogue, University of Guelph

Gerardo is just one of the local children taking part in the Sea Turtle Protection Project! Along with local leaders, this amazing group of kids are helping to monitor nests, clean up the beaches, and release endangered hatchlings into the wild. Support their work by adopting a sea turtle!

Common Loon

International Bird Rescue cares for loons that are injured, oiled, sick, or suffering from starvation. Their size and their strong legs make them tricky to keep still during treatments – in fact, these big birds need two handlers at all times! With your help, International Bird Rescue can continue to rescue and treat sick and oiled loons, releasing them back into the wild to live a happy life for years to come!
