Endangered Species Recovery Fund

The Endangered Species Recovery Fund (ESRF), a joint initiative of Environment Canada and World Wildlife Fund (Canada), was established in 1988 to support recovery activities for species at risk of extinction. Project proposals from university researchers, conservation groups and others are reviewed once a year by a Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) which makes funding recommendations based on established criteria. The SAC is composed of experts who altogether provide broad taxonomic and geographic expertise. Since 1988, over $7 Million has been invested by ESRF partners for more than several hundred projects, and 100 different species at risk.
