Our Mission

Nature Canada's mission is the protection of nature, its diversity, and the processes that sustain it.

About Nature Canada

Nature Canada is a member-based non-profit nature conservation organization dedicated to protecting nature, its diversity, and the processes that sustain it. With strategies based on sound science and passion for nature, Nature Canada effects change on issues of national significance, including bird conservation, wilderness protection, species at risk and national parks. Through public outreach and education we are building a nature ethic among Canadians.

Nature Canada’s work in 2017–2021 will be focused in three strategic directions. We will:

• Protect species and habitats by speaking up as the national voice for nature

• Promote nature as part of the Canadian identity by engaging Canadians in celebrating and protecting nature

• Strengthen our roots by growing Nature Canada’s community of nature lovers

Nature Canada’s Strategic Goals will be achieved by organization-wide commitment that will include:

• Focusing on Canadian and international partnerships in all our work. These valued partners will include industry, government, academia and other ENGOs.

• Recognizing the leadership of indigenous peoples in conservation of their traditional land.

• Continuing to treat every donation with care to protect and conserve nature today and to ensure Nature Canada’s long-term financial health.

• Strengthening and nurturing our invaluable diverse volunteers who support all aspects of our work.
