Birds Canada is a national charitable organization dedicated to wild bird conservation. Our mission is to drive action to increase the understanding, appreciation, and conservation of birds in Canada. We work toward our mission with science-based projects that engage the public in citizen science, such as the Newfoundland Breeding Bird Atlas and Nocturnal Owl Survey. Our main involvement with the LLPP is to increase knowledge of bird distributions in the priority place, especially species at risk like the Short-eared Owl, by creating and supporting monitoring programs.

Environment and Climate Change Canada is the lead federal department for a wide range of environmental issues. The department addresses these issues through various actions including the implementation of the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change; engaging with our strategic partners including provinces, territories and Indigenous peoples; monitoring; science-based research; policy and regulatory development; and, through the enforcement of environmental laws. The department’s programs focus on minimizing threats to Canadians and their environment from pollution; equipping Canadians to make informed decisions on weather, water and climate conditions; and conserving and restoring Canada’s natural environment.
