We are now Biome

After 17 years as the International Conservation Fund of Canada (ICFC), we are entering an exciting new chapter with a new name and look: welcome to Biome Conservation. 

While our new name and brand represent an exciting transformation, our mission remains the same. Biome Conservation is about better communicating the breadth, clarity, and ambition of our mission to save biodiversity in priority areas worldwide. For nearly two decades, our donors have trusted us alongside our field partners to deliver direct conservation impact in some of the most biodiverse and threatened places on Earth—leading to spectacular results.  

Why Biome? 

A biome is a vast, interconnected ecosystem defined by climate, geography, species, and the communities that steward it. From high-altitude cloud forests to coastal estuaries, these large ecological systems reflect the scale at which we work, and the global reach of our partnerships. 

Therefore, our new name captures the spirit of what we’ve always been about: protecting nature’s great living systems by supporting effective, locally led conservation. It allows us to communicate more clearly, connect with new audiences, and strengthen our efficient, non-bureaucratic movement to stop biodiversity collapse on Earth. 

What isn’t changing 

While our name and identity have evolved, the heart of our mission remains the same. 

• Our team, partners, and projects are unchanged. 

• Our commitment to protecting biodiversity, climate resilience, and community-led conservation is unwavering. 

• Our values—trust, transparency, and impact—continue to guide everything we do. 

• International Conservation Fund of Canada remains a legal name, along with Biome Conservation, which is a “doing business as” name.  Both names are valid for banking, legal agreements and wills.  

What this means for you 

If you’ve supported ICFC, your past, present, and future support continue seamlessly. Donations, pledges, and planned giving remain valid under our original name, which will continue alongside Biome Conservation as our legal identity. Cheques, tax receipts, and charitable status are unaffected. 

Looking ahead 

As Canada’s most efficient conservation organization, we’re proud of what we’ve achieved as ICFC and excited about what lies ahead as Biome. The challenges facing our planet are immense, but together—with you, our field partners, and communities around the globe—we know we can protect the natural systems that all life depends on. 

This rebrand is not a departure—it’s an evolution. A clearer identity for the same trusted mission. 

We invite you to explore our new look, share in our renewed vision, and continue this journey with us. Because protecting nature’s great living systems has never been more urgent—and we are making a significant difference. 

Welcome to Biome.
