The Wildlife Collision Prevention Program seeks to save human lives and prevent injuries, protect wildlife species from unnecessary death and injury, and reduce the economic losses to society caused by wildlife vehicle collisions.
The Wildlife Collision Prevention Program (WCPP) was formed in 2001, as a partnership between the British Columbia Conservation Foundation (BCCF) and the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC), in response to the increasing number and severity of wildlife vehicle collisions in British Columbia (BC). WCPP is administered by the BCCF with funding and support from government agencies, crown corporations, and both public and private organizations.
BCCF was founded in 1969 under the guidance of the BC Wildlife Federation, and is a not for profit registered organization dedicated to the conservation and stewardship of B.C.'s ecosystems and species. For more information on BCCF, visit their website.
