The Government of Canada aims to serve Canadian people and promote Canadian interests. They oversee various economic and social affairs, including jobs and business, health, taxes, national defense, culture, justice, transportation, and more.
The Habitat Stewardship Program (HSP) offers funding for projects that contribute to the recovery and population goals of species at risk, as listed on Schedule 1 of the Species at Risk Act (SARA), and aims to prevent others from becoming a conservation concern. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) and Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) administer this funding to support terrestrial and aquatic stewardship projects, respectively. Objectives include supporting habitat projects benefiting species at risk, enabling Canadian involvement in conservation efforts, and enhancing the understanding of stewardship. The program focuses on projects that target species listed on Schedule 1 of SARA and those assessed by COSEWIC as endangered, threatened, or of special concern but not yet listed on Schedule 1. Eligible activities range from habitat protection to outreach and education, with a significant portion of funds directed toward projects targeting Schedule 1 species. The funding range for projects is generally between $25,000 and $100,000, with a requirement for matching contributions, varying by the applicants' Indigenous status.
