Donations received on CanadaHelps will be committed to the Foundation's collaboration with "Maison de la Gare" of Saint Louis, Senegal. Tens of thousands of "talibé" children beg on the streets of Senegal's cities for 6 to 10 hours each day for their food and for money to give to the "teacher" who controls them. They live under unconscionable conditions, without access to running water, rudimentary hygiene or nurture, often without shelter and subject to severe abuse. Maison de la Gare works within this situation to improve the taibés' living conditions and to give them hope of becoming productive participants in Senegalese society.

We help install and monitor barrier fencing and culverts to reduce road mortality of amphibians in coastal British Columbia. We monitor how well these mitigation efforts work to improve habitat connectivity. We also help protect wetlands from habitat destruction, pollution, invasive species, and disease. We share information and promote stewardship of wetland habitats through public slideshows, workshops, school programs and by providing scientific advice to land owners and local planning departments. We highlight the connection between productive wetland habitat, water quality and human health in our presentations.
