Centre de conservation de la biodiversité boréale (CCBB) is a 59-year-old environmental and biodiversity centre in Saint-Félicien, Quebec — home of the renowned Zoo sauvage de Saint-Félicien. With $8.04 million in revenue, 79% program spending, reserves at 24.6 months (triple the peer median), and a 12-member board, it operates as a major regional institution combining conservation, education, and tourism.
Our Verdict: A major regional institution with nearly six decades of operation and strong reserves. The admin ratio reflects the dual mandate of conservation science and public tourism operations. Donors supporting boreal biodiversity conservation and environmental education in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region are backing one of Quebec's most established conservation institutions.
