Project Descriptions

The main goal of the Habitat Stewardship Program is to protect habitat and contribute to the recovery of species listed as endangered, threatened, or of special concern. In its fourth and fifth years (2003-2004 and 2004-2005), the Habitat Stewardship Program played an integral part in helping Canadians to protect and improve important habitats, to mitigate threats caused by human activities, and to educate the public about species at risk. In addition, the program has continued to establish partnerships with Aboriginal organizations and with landowners, resource users, nature trusts, provincial/territorial partners, the natural resources sector, community-based wildlife societies, educational institutions, and conservation organizations.
