Project Results

In 2025-2026 our boards approved $9.2 million for 72 fish and wildlife projects to conserve and enhance fish and wildlife in watersheds impacted by BC Hydro dams. As the projects proceed, we will share results and project outcomes here, including final project reports.

We share project results in our annual reports and project outcomes, through our Coastal, Columbia, and Peace region e-letters, social media, and this page.

Our projects can have immediate benefits to species and ecosystems. For example, if we fund a project to remove a culvert, fish passage can be improved right away. Other projects may take longer to show results. Our funding of recovery efforts for endangered Northern Leopard Frogs, caribou, and Vancouver Island Marmots are examples of where a longer-term commitment is needed before results will be evident.

White-nose syndrome: “encouraging results” for probiotic

Coastal Region — Monitoring shows encouraging results for a probiotic “cocktail” that may reduce the prevalence of the fungus known as Pd that has been decimating bat populations in eastern North America.

45,000 hectares conserved

Columbia Region — Our Columbia Region Board approved $606K toward the purchase price of more than $70M to conserve the 45,000 hectares known as the Kootenay Forest Lands – a Rocky Mountain landscape that is vital for wildlife movement and ecological health, supporting grizzly bears, wolverine, bighorn sheep, badger, lynx, bull trout, and Endangered white-bark pine. Rare high-elevation grasslands, ancient forests, and a multitude of streams influencing 42 watersheds and 930 kms of streams we be conserved through this purchase.

38 wolverine monitoring stations

Peace Region — In year one of a project led by Chu Cho Environmental to determine wolverine density and abundance in Tsay keh Dene Territory, 38 monitoring stations were set up in the Chase Caribou Herd range near the Williston Reservoir.

Project Reports and Databases

To make it easy for you to find project reports and results, we prepare and update searchable spreadsheets for each of our regions. Use these spreadsheets to find the report you want. Contact us anytime if you need help to find a FWCP project report.
