REVERSE THE COURSE OF OUR RIVERS : MAKE A DONATION TO THE SALMON FOUNDATION
*A receipt is issued for all donations of $30 or more.
Reverse the course of our rivers
Atlantic salmon are facing unprecedented challenges. Rising water temperatures, habitat degradation, and pressures on wild populations call for concrete action on the ground.
That is why the Salmon Foundation has launched the « Reverse the course of our rivers » fundraising campaign. Every donation helps support conservation projects that directly address the challenges facing Atlantic salmon in Quebec.
At the heart of our actions : river temperature monitoring
Among the initiatives supported, the river thermography project plays a central role. By monitoring changes in water temperature through an extensive network of thermographs, teams can identify the cold-water refuges used by salmon, better understand the effects of heat waves, and direct conservation efforts where they will have the greatest impact.
This knowledge is essential for adapting river management and protecting salmon in the face of climate change.
Your donation makes a difference
By contributing to the campaign « Reverse the course of our rivers », you are supporting:
• monitoring river temperatures and identifying thermal refuges;
• collecting scientific data in the field;
• protecting and restoring critical habitats;
• engaging river organizations and conservation partners;
• taking concrete actions to ensure the future of Atlantic salmon in Quebec.
Every donation directly supports these efforts and helps turn knowledge into action.
Together, let’s reverse the course of our rivers. Make a donation today and help protect Atlantic salmon.
