The Fondation invites organizations, particularly those that have not recently submitted a project to this program, to contact the program manager, Raphaël Dubé, in order to validate that the project meets the objectives and orientations of the program and thus validate eligibility. You can reach him by phone at 418 644-7926, extension 127 or by email at raphael.dube@fondationdelafaune.qc.ca.
- Does your natural environment require increased protection to preserve it’s key elements of biodiversity?
- Are there ecological issues that induce negative impacts on the biodiversity of your natural environment?
- Is better supervision of recreational tourism activities taking place in your natural environment of high ecological value necessary to ensure the conservation of biodiversity?
- Is there an imminent threat to your natural environment, which is home to high biological diversity?
- Would you like to promote responsible and ethical outdoor activity practices in a natural environment of high ecological value?
