The BC Conservation & Biodiversity Awards Foundation was established in 2020 to recognize and financially support conservation based initiatives in the Province of British Columbia. The awards are given annually for the most impactful initiatives brought forward by BC based charities, for specific work contributing to the improvement of the natural environment of BC and the preservation of its wilderness and biodiversity.
According to Imagine Canada, charitable contributions are heavily skewed to the humanities relative to the environment, with only 2% of all donations going to the environment. Yet without the environment we have no humanity. The BCCB Awards are one small step toward addressing this imbalance.
