WHO ARE WE?

The International Conservation Fund of Canada (ICFC) was created to further the conservation of wild nature, especially in the tropics, where biological diversity and threats to it are greatest.

Our focus is primarily on the Neotropics (Central America and South America) and secondarily on central Africa (also Mali and Madagascar), Indonesia, Malaysia, and tropical coastal marine areas.

ICFC works in partnership with carefully selected non-governmental organizations and individuals working in our countries of interest.

As a young organization, we have sought and received valuable advice from experienced conservation practitioners and we welcome further input.   ([>] Provide input.)

Canadians benefit directly and indirectly from the large-scale conservation of nature, as do people in all nations. As an affluent country, Canada can do more to supply much needed funding for conservation in less developed countries. This was the motivation in creating ICFC.

You can help us to conserve Earth's irreplaceable natural heritage through general support or support for specific programs.   ([>] Donate.)

Why, our descendants will ask, by needlessly extinguishing the lives of other species, did we permanently impoverish our own?
