Population Status of Migratory Game Birds in Canada 2012: document information

Document Information

Cover Art:

The Canadian Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamp, entitled Evening Repose, features the Blue-winged Teal. It is a creation of Canadian wildlife artist Patricia Pépin of Quebec.

Through a special partnership with Environment Canada, Wildlife Habitat Canada receives the revenues from the sale of the Canadian Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamp, purchased primarily by waterfowl hunters to validate their Migratory Game Bird Hunting Permits. The conservation stamp is also sold to stamp and print collectors and those interested in contributing to habitat conservation. In 2011-2012, Wildlife Habitat Canada provided 26 grants totalling close to $1.2 million. This in turn helped leverage an additional $7.3 million in partner funding for conservation projects, resulting in the conservation, restoration and enhancement of 494 420 acres of wildlife habitat across Canada (Wildlife Habitat Canada 2012).
