Ambioterra is a nonprofit, charitable organization governed by an elected board whose purpose is to promote the conservation and protection of natural habitats and endangered species. Its activities are funded by various levels of government, by foundations, and by its members.
Objectives
To create and manage protected areas in natural settings both on land and in the watersheds of Quebec, particularly in the southwestern part of the province, and to encourage voluntary conservation from homeowners by making agreements with our organization to ensure the protection of our natural heritage.
