The Boreal Songbird Network is a network of conservation and birding groups including the American Bird Conservancy, National Wildlife Federation, Ducks Unlimited, Natural Resource Defense Council, National Audubon Society, Defenders of Wildlife, and others interested in raising awareness in the U.S. and Canada about the importance of the Boreal Forest to North American migratory birds. This network works to educate and activate about the Boreal. Keeping the Boreal Forest message alive in the U.S. and making our voices heard in Canada will have global environmental implications. ...

E-Fauna BC is an electronic atlas of the fauna of British Columbia. It provides detailed scientific information on the wildlife species of the province for use in conservation, education and research. When complete, E-Fauna BC will provide information on both vertebrate (animals with backbones) and invertebrate (animals without backbones) species in the province, including familiar animals such as bears and wolves, and less familiar animals such sea stars and sea cucumbers, insects, spiders and ticks, and much more. The aim of the atlas is to function as a centralized, freely available, "one-stop shop" for wildlife information in the province. ... [Information of the supplier]
What it means to be Canadian has often been demonstrated through people’s attachment to wildlife and wilderness. This is most evident in the iconic role that wildlife plays in Canadian currency, the popularity of wildlife art, and the billions of dollars that are spent annually on wildlife-related activities in Canada. This connection to wildlife was introduced to many Canadians through the popular Hinterland Who’s Who television announcements, or vignettes. First created in the early 1960s, Hinterland Who’s Who made bold use of a relatively new medium — black and white television — to reach the Canadian general public. The vignettes, produced by the Canadian Wildlife Service, brought native wildlife into living rooms using excellent film footage and simple narration. The new Hinterland Who’s Who series with its accompanying Web site will rebuild the connection thousands of Canadians made with wildlife through the original series. Increasingly, we not only want to learn about nature, we also want to understand how each of us can play a part in preserving it. The Canadian Wildlife Federation, one of Canada’s largest nonprofit, nongovernmental conservation organizations, plays a lead role in showing Canadians how to take action and make a difference.Together, the Canadian Wildlife Service and the Canadian Wildlife Federation are bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to the rejuvenated Hinterland Who’s Who and to the Canadian public. ...

VASCAN is the Database of Vascular Plants of Canada. It is a comprehensive list of all vascular plants reported in Canada, Greenland (Denmark) and Saint Pierre and Miquelon (France). VASCAN is literature-based, though recent additions are sometimes specimen-based. For every species, subspecies and variety in VASCAN we provide the accepted scientific name (Latin), the accepted French and English vernacular name, and their synonyms/alternatives in Canada. We indicate the distribution status (native, introduced, etc.) of the plant for each province or territory, and the habit (tree, shrub, herb or vine) of the plant in Canada. For reported hybrids (nothotaxa or hybrid formulas), we also provide the hybrid parents*, except for introduced hybrids. We refer to a source for all name, classification and distribution information. ... [Information of the supplier]
Welcome to the website of the Canadian National Vegetation Classification (CNVC). The mandate of the CNVC is to comprehensively classify and describe natural and semi-natural Canadian vegetation in an ecologically meaningful manner. The classification will ultimately be a hierarchical taxonomy of vegetation conditions at different levels of generalization. Work is ongoing, and updates are made to the site as portions of the classification are confirmed. Parts of the site are under construction and new material is constantly being developed. This site contains all materials produced by the CNVC partnership, including: 1) background documentation on the project, its governance, and the CNVC partnership; 2) description of the classification structure and CNVC standards of methodology, data, and analysis; 3) names of all confirmed classified elements (to date) and factsheets (in PDF format) that have been completed (see Associations List). The classified elements are searchable on multiple criteria. ... [Information of the supplier]
