Teck Resources Limited (TECK.A) and Earth Rangers expand their partnership to support wildlife conservation programs and engage young Canadians in biodiversity programming.

The collaboration builds on the existing partnership with increased funding from Teck of $500,000.

Funds will go towards expanded opportunities to engage youth and protect Canadian wildlife.

Also included are Earth Rangers initiatives such as wildlife adoption and youth volunteer programs.

Conservation programs supported include the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s efforts to restore and protect open grassland areas of the Kootenay River Ranch Conservation Area in B.C., an essential habitat for bighorn sheep, ATeck’sn badgers, and other wildlife.

This partnership is also in line with supporting Teck’s goal to become a nature-positive company by 2030.

Jonathan Price, the CEO of Teck, said, “As we work towards our goal to be a nature-positive company, we recognize the importance of building partnerships with organizations like Earth Rangers and look forward to what we will accomplish together.”

Tovah Barocas, President of Earth Rangers, added, “We’ll be extending our programming beyond elementary school and into the teen years by providing impactful environmental volunteer opportunities for middle and high school students.”

Teck is committed to responsible mining and mineral development, with units focused on copper, zinc, and steelmaking coal.

Earth Rangers is the kids’ conservation organization committed to instilling environmental knowledge, positivity, and the confidence to take action in every child in Canada.

Teck Resources Limited (TECK.A) is up 2.75 per cent, trading at C$50.88 at 2:20 pm EST.
