Our Mission
Plenty Canada is a registered non-profit organization that facilitates access to and shares resources with Indigenous peoples and other community groups around the world in support of their environmental protection and sustainable development goals.
At Plenty Canada we recognize that people are part of the environment and we sustain healthy lives only when the environment as a whole is healthy. For us the environment and the bio-diversity of our environment is a precious treasure we need to protect.

Youth Circle for Mother Earth BioBlitz
Plenty Canada is pleased to be co-hosting Youth Circle for Mother Earth's first cross-cultural BioBlitz!
Youth Circle for Mother Earth (YCME) will be hosting a youth-led BioBlitz across Ontario, online and on site at the local Plenty Canada headquarters. A BioBlitz is an event that involves searching for and identifying as many species as possible over a short period of time. Not only will this event be a fun and exciting way to contribute to crowd-sourced Western science but participating youth will also be contributing to Indigenous-led knowledge and conservation. Youth aged 14-30 are encouraged to participate, but all are welcome.

Indigenous communities in Peru and Guatemala are culturally strong and resilient, but they are facing dire conditions in the face of Covid-19. Grassroots initiatives are being led both in Peru and Guatemala within communities where Plenty Canada has developed strong relationships over the years. Many families are suffering from hunger and deprivation. Their lives have been severely disrupted by the pandemic and by the official restrictions on all travel. These initiatives are run by local Indigenous volunteers in an effort to help their extended communities. We need your support to uplift these communities by helping to provide lifesaving resources, at a time when they are most vulnerable.
