Several animal and fish conservation programs in B.C received a funding boost.
The Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation (HCTF) announced over $9 million to fund more than 170 fish and wildlife projects in BC.
HCTF CEO Brian Springinotic said the $9 million represents a record annual investment in conservation projects by the Foundation, made possible in part by a contribution from the Forest Enhancement Society of BC. However, Springinotic says the majority of project funding comes from conservation surcharges on freshwater angling, hunting, guide outfitting and trapping licenses sold in BC.
“HCTF’s funding model is unique in channeling the users’ investment back to benefit the resource,” said Springinotic, in a press release statement. “Anglers, hunters, guide outfitters and trappers fund much of the critical conservation work taking place in BC,” he added.
