TORONTO/QUEBEC CITY — The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) is being entrusted with the responsibility of delivering a gift of nature on behalf of the Canadian people to mark the coronation of King Charles III.

NCC has been chosen to receive a $100,000 donation from the Government of Canada which will conserve natural habitat across the country. It will be used to achieve conservation of nature here at home and to support the next generation of conservation leaders – the organization’s interns. These young professionals deliver tangible, on-the-ground impact for the sake of nature and people, according to NCC.

NCC President and CEO Catherine Grenier says she cannot think of a better way to mark the coronation. The king’s well-known love for nature and commitment to the environment is aligned with Canada’s pledge to conserve 30 per cent of land and water by 2030. Conservation in Canada has global significance and Grenier hopes that news of this gift will inspire many more people to join in efforts to halt and reverse the loss of nature, reports NCC.

“The king has long used his voice on the global stage to stress the urgency of a unified effort against the threats of climate change and biodiversity loss,” said Grenier.

“There is no solution to either challenge without nature conservation. This gift is a vote of confidence in NCC’s ability and determination to drive sizeable and permanent results for nature In Canada, and to prepare our young professionals to lead us all to a nature-positive future,”
