Current Projects

Meet this year’s inspiring researchers and scientists!
Every Wildlife Adoption Kit sold results in a direct contribution to one of their projects.

Polar Bear

Nicholas Paroshy, University of Alberta

Meet Nicholas! He is studying polar bear movement patterns in an area of the Arctic called the Beaufort Sea. Sadly, warming temperatures due to climate change are melting the sea ice that polar bears rely on for hunting. Adopt a polar bear to help Nicholas protect these extraordinary creatures!

Eastern Wolf

Megan Quinn, Nature Conservancy of Canada

Meet Megan! She is leading a team of conservationists in Eastern Ontario’s Frontenac Arch, a corridor of forests, wetlands, and lakes that help fight climate change and are home to a huge amount of biodiversity. Adopt an eastern wolf to support her work!

Swift Fox

Peter Soroye, Wildlife Conservation Society Canada

Peter and his team are working to identify and help protect Key Biodiversity Areas; the most critical sites for protecting Earth’s biodiversity. Adopt a swift fox to support the preservation of native grasslands in Saskatchewan – one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world.

Caribou

Yifeng Wang, Queen’s University

Yifeng is working in Canada’s North, investigating a rare ecosystem called permafrost peatland. Besides being important wildlife habitat, they are also a strong carbon sink. But with temperatures warming around the world, these frozen habitats are in trouble. Adopt a caribou to help!

River Otter

Megan Quinn, Nature Conservancy of Canada

Meet Megan! She is leading a team of conservationists in Eastern Ontario’s Frontenac Arch, a corridor of forests, wetlands, and lakes that help fight climate change and are home to a huge amount of biodiversity. Adopt a river otter to support her work!

Moose

Megan Quinn, Nature Conservancy of Canada

Meet Megan! She is leading a team of conservationists in Eastern Ontario’s Frontenac Arch, a corridor of forests, wetlands, and lakes that help fight climate change and are home to a huge amount of biodiversity. Adopt a moose to support her work!

Ringed Seal

Katie Florko, University of British Columbia

Katie’s research is focused on the relationships between predators and prey in Hudson Bay – and how those relationships are being impacted by the melting sea ice. By adopting a ringed seal, you’ll help Katie learn how to better protect these animals and their homes.

Jaguar

Osa Conservation

Osa Conservation is an incredible team of scientists and conservationists, dedicated to protecting Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula! This diverse rainforest ecosystem is threatened by hunting and human activity. Adopt a jaguar to help safeguard the habitat of these apex predators.

American Badger

Nature Conservancy of Canada

British Columbia’s Rocky Mountain Trench is home to some of Canada’s most iconic — and endangered — animals. Support Land Stewardship Manager Julia Poetschke and the rest of team from Nature Conservancy Canada as they work to restore an important ecosystem in the trench — adopt an American badger today!

Grizzly Bear

Nature Conservancy of Canada

British Columbia’s Rocky Mountain Trench is home to some of Canada’s most famous — and endangered — animals. Adopt a grizzly bear to support a team of adoptions/ scientists and researchers from the Nature Conservancy of Canada, including Land Stewardship Manager Julia Poetschke. They’re all working hard to restore this important ecosystem.

Bighorn Sheep

Nature Conservancy of Canada

Really important work is happening in British Columbia’s Rocky Mountain Trench, a valley in the northwest of the Rocky Mountains. That’s where important habitat for wildlife (like the bighorn sheep!) are being restored by Land Stewardship Manager Julia Poetschke and a team of scientists and researchers from the Nature Conservancy of Canada. Adopt a bighorn sheep to support NCC as they work to preserve this key ecosystem.
