Together, we are a force
for nature!
An ambitious goal was set in 2007
when NCC launched A Force for
Nature — a fundraising campaign
to raise $500 million to support
conservation work across Canada.
It was a challenge. But, for the
next five years, with leadership
from key individuals and corpo-
rations, support from thousands
of Canadians and investment
from the Government of Canada,
we reached a successful conclu-
sion at the end of 2012. Exceeding
our fundraising goal allowed us to
announce that we conserved more
than 752,000 acres (304,000 hect-
ares), home to more than 145
species at risk. Our work contin-
ues, but thanks to this initiative
we are making excellent progress.
We are very appreciative of the vision and lead-
ership of our donors, partners, campaign leaders
and board members across the country. Our
National Campaign Leadership Team has been
an important part of this journey and NCC
thanks them for joining forces and stepping up
to lead this great Canadian challenge.
