Swift Fox

The 2024 Collaboration with Wildlife Preservation Canada

In a collaboration to bring awareness to Canada’s species at risk, Wildlife Preservation Canada and signature member of Artists for Conservation Sarah McComb Turbitt created a challenge for Sarah to paint as many endangered Canadian species as she can during January 2024. In this collection, 15% will be donated to WPC. WPC saves critically endangered species whose numbers in the wild are so low that hands-on action is the last defence to save them from extinction. WPC is the only organization in Canada to provide this critical need for wildlife in recovery efforts across the country, from the single population of endangered frogs in BC to the disappearing pollinators across Ontario.

“Wildlife Preservation Canada began working with the swift fox in the mid-1990s when we helped establish a small, self-sustaining population in southern Alberta and Saskatchewan. Four years later, those reintroduced foxes had tripled in number, making this one of the most successful endangered species reintroduction programs in the world.” Learn more about how you can help at wildlifepreservation.ca.
