The Foundation

Why protect natural environments? Who should do it? How? What is the role of the Fondation Hydro-Québec pour l'environnement in all this?

Baie de Rimouski

With support from the Foundation, the Comité ZIP du Sud-de-l'Estuaire has increased public awareness of this rich coastal ecosystem—located right in the city of Rimouski—which is so important for migrating waterfowl.

Barachois de Malbaie et Pointe Saint-Pierre

In these heavily frequented wetlands, users, wildlife and plants cohabit in greater harmony. This is the result of initiatives by the Club des ornithologues de la Gaspésie and Nature Conservancy Canada, with the Foundation's assistance
