- Species at Risk and Habitat Conservation and Protection
Description: The overall goals of the Habitat Stewardship Program (HSP) are to contribute to the recovery of endangered, threatened and other species at risk, and to prevent other species from becoming a conservation concern, by engaging Canadians in conservation actions to benefit wildlife. The HSP fosters partnerships among organizations interested in the recovery and prevention of species at risk. It provides funding for on-the-ground activities that conserve or restore habitats for species at risk and other species that are not at risk, and other practical actions for the recovery of such species. The HSP enables non-governmental organizations, landowners, the private sector, Indigenous organizations, educational institutions, community groups and other levels of government to plan, manage and complete projects that will achieve the program goals.
Expected Results: Important habitat is secured and protected to enhance the recovery of species at risk. Specifically, in 2018–19, it is expected that approximately 3,000 ha of land will be secured for the benefit of species at risk. It is also expected that approximately 15,000 ha of land will be protected through new non-legally binding agreements and that approximately 49,000 ha of land will also be protected through the renewal of non-legally binding agreements.
"Secured" refers to legally-binding measures, including purchase, easement, covenant or lease.
"Protected" refers to non-legally binding measures involving new or renewed voluntary written conservation agreements made with landowners.

- Biodiversity Partnerships and Policy and Habitat Conservation and Protection
Description: Funding ($100 million total investment starting in 2014–15, for 5 years) enables the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) to implement the Natural Areas Conservation Program. The NCC works to ensure the long-term protection of biodiversity by working with private landowners to secure and steward ecologically significant lands that have been identified as priorities for conservation. The NCC acquires and preserves private land primarily through land purchase, land donations, conservation agreements, relinquishment of rights and stewardship actions.
Expected Results: The aim under the Program is to secure 130,000 ha of ecologically sensitive lands; implement stewardship actions on an estimated 120,000 ha of lands secured under the Program; and, monitor Conservation Agreements on an estimated 100,000 ha of lands secured under the Program. The Program will also provide support to advance compliance by land conservation organizations with recognized standards and practices for land management.
Fiscal year of last completed evaluation: An evaluation of this program as part of the larger Habitat Conservation Partnerships sub-sub program (PAA 1.1.4) evaluation will be finalized in 2017–18. The evaluation covers a 6-year period from 2010–11 to 2015–16.
Decision following the results of last evaluation: Awaiting current evaluation to be finalized
Fiscal year of planned completion of next evaluation: An evaluation of this program is planned for 2020–21 as part of the larger Habitat Conservation Partnerships evaluation.
General targeted recipient groups: Non-profit organizations (e.g. charities, foundations, non-governmental organizations, universities and research institutions, health-related entities). Specifically, eligible recipients may include the NCC, Ducks Unlimited Canada and other qualified land conservation organizations.
Initiatives to engage applicants and recipients: The Department will approve annual work plans and annual reports for the Program. In collaboration with the NCC, the Department will participate in public announcements for the Program, on an ongoing basis.

- Community Eco-Action
Description: Science Horizons is funded through the Career Focus stream of the Government of Canada’s Youth Employment Strategy (YES), overseen by Employment and Social Development Canada. Programs under the Career Focus stream aim to demonstrate federal leadership by investing in the skills required to meet the needs of the knowledge economy, facilitate the transition of highly skilled young people to a rapidly changing labour market, and promote the benefits of advanced studies.
Science Horizons is designed to increase youth employment in the environmental field across Canada. Science Horizons provides a wage subsidy of up to $15,000 to eligible employers to hire a recent Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) graduate. Science Horizons is delivered through contributions to Delivery Agents (five (5) in 2017–18), who administer the program, including all activities related to matching eligible employers and interns.
Expected Results: Create up to 969 internships in 2018–19 and have 80% of past interns either obtain employment or return to advanced-level studies in STEM fields.
Fiscal year of last completed evaluation: 2014–15 (Summative Evaluation of the Horizontal Youth Employment Strategy for 2012–15)
Decision following the results of last evaluation: As part of the Summative evaluation of YES, Recommendations #1 and #5 apply to the Science Horizons program. See the following link for more details.
Fiscal year of planned completion of next evaluation: 2019–20
General targeted recipient groups: The direct recipients of ECCC funding are the Delivery Agents administering Science Horizons. Indirectly, recipients of the wage subsidy are for-profit organizations, not-for-profit organizations, municipal governments, Indigenous organizations, and post-secondary educational institutions.
Initiatives to engage applicants and recipients: For 2017–18, ECCC held a more open call for organizations to apply to become Delivery Agents, resulting in a total of five (5) recipients identified to enter into a Contribution Agreement with ECCC to receive Science Horizons funding. Each Delivery Agent targets a specific market segment and uses its own network of organizations and educational institutions to promote Science Horizons. This includes sending informational emails to their networks, attending career or job fairs at colleges and universities, and participating in conferences and networking events with organizations in the environmental and clean technology industry.
In addition, ECCC uses social media and the Departmental internet site to promote success stories on employers and interns who have benefitted from the program and other information about Science Horizons.
