Who We Are

We are Canada's national wildlife agency and we handle wildlife matters that are the responsibility of the federal government. This includes the protection and management of migratory birds and nationally important wildlife habitat, endangered species, research on nationally important wildlife issues, control of international trade in endangered species, and international treaties.

Wildlife management in Canada is shared by the federal and the provincial / territorial governments. To find out more about the division of responsibilities, please see "Who does what" on our Frequently Asked Questions web page.

For more information about us you may consult Focus on the Canadian Wildlife Service and Canadian Wildlife Service Strategic Plan 2000.
