The mission of Wildlife Conservation Society Canada is to save wildlife and wild places in Canada through science, conservation action, and by inspiring people to value nature. The organization aims to create solutions to conservation challenges and works collaboratively to protect wildlife for future generations. Their focus is on promoting ecological integrity and supporting healthy environments for both wildlife and people.

WCS Canada operates across Canada with a strong presence in regions such as the Northern Boreal, Arctic, Northern Boreal Mountains, and Southern Rocky Mountains. Their work spans from the Ontario Northern Boreal Forest to the Yukon and northern British Columbia, as well as the BC Kootenays and Alberta. The organization collaborates on transboundary conservation projects and research throughout major Canadian ecosystems, emphasizing a national reach with impact in remote and diverse landscapes.

Key activities include on-the-ground scientific research, supporting land-use planning, wildlife monitoring, and community-based conservation. WCS Canada leads conservation efforts for species at risk like caribou, wolverine, bats, bison, and freshwater fish. Their successes include the expansion of Nahanni National Park, protection of vital watersheds, and bat conservation programs addressing threats like white-nose syndrome. Research informs policy change and empowers decision-makers to safeguard Canadian biodiversity.
