Nature Conservancy of Canada

The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) is a Canadian private, non-profit conservation organization. It partners with individuals, corporations, governments and other organizations to help protect Canada's most important lands, waters and wildlife. Properties are secured through donation, purchase, conservation agreement and the relinquishment of other legal interests and are managed for the long term.
Since 1962, NCC and its partners have helped protect 14 million hectares (more than 35 million acres) of ecologically significant places across Canada.
Activities.
The Nature Conservancy of Canada's work is led by a team of conservation professionals who use the best available science and information to identify the most important places to be protected and other critical conservation actions. Using the Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation ensures that the organization’s conservation actions are strategic and result in measurable conservation progress. NCC's conservation process is guided by the following steps, which happen at all scales, from ecoregions, to natural areas, to the properties they protect:
The Natural Heritage Conservation Program.
The Natural Heritage Conservation Program (NHCP) is a public-private partnership designed to advance privately protected areas in some of the country’s most cherished landscapes. Launched with a $100-million investment from the Government of Canada the program is administered by the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC), with contributions from partners like Ducks Unlimited Canada and the country’s land trusts. Wildlife Habitat Canada administers the land trust portion of the program. NCC will work with the program partners to identify land for conservation and raise the funds to match the government’s investment 2:1.
The NHCP partners are committed to protecting an additional 200,000 hectares (494,210 acres) of habitat for species at risk. It continues the momentum of the previous federal partnership administered by NCC: the Natural Areas Conservation Program (NACP). Under the NACP, NCC and its partners conserved more than 446,000 hectares (more than 1.1 million acres) coast to coast, providing habitat for 210 species at risk. As of 2018, the NACP had achieved nearly $1B in conservation outcomes.
