Protecting biodiversity here in BC.
Mountain View Conservation is now focussed on helping save BC Wildlife species from extinction. It is a sad fact that 7 species of mammals and 4 species of birds have already disappeared from the Canadian landscape. Another 41 species of mammals and 46 species of birds are listed as Endangered, Threatened, or Vulnerable. Listed here are our current breeding and recovery programs. We hope to add several others in 2010.
