Of the 428 bird species that regularly breed in Canada as many as 60 are classified as at risk of extinction!

You can help keep common birds common. Please support our bird conservation activities from coast to coast. Nature Canada supports community based bird conservation programs across Canada.  Since 1996, we have supported more than 150 grass roots projects, restoring forests, preserving wetlands and protecting nests.

Climate change and habitat loss, if left unchecked, will put even larger numbers of birds in danger.
This is your opportunity to help reverse this terrible tide. 

Your donation to Nature Canada can go directly to ecologists and biologists as they strive to protect North American species at risk.

No one said it would be easy. There are no simple answers. But you can be confident that Nature Canada is working on your behalf to protect and conserve one of our most important natural wonders: our birds.
