About Wildlife Conservation Society <strong>Canada</strong><br />
Wildlife Conservation Society <strong>Canada</strong> was established in May 2004 as a<br />
Canadian non-government organization with a mission to save wildlife<br />
and wildlands by improving our understanding of and seeking solutions<br />

throughout <strong>Canada</strong>. We implement and support comprehensive field<br />
studies, particularly in Ontario’s Far North, gather information on wildlife<br />
and seek to address conservation challenges by working with First<br />
Nation communities, governments, regulatory agencies, conservation<br />
groups, and industry. For more information visit: www.wcscanada.org<br />
