Canadian Wildlife Federation: Grasslands Awareness Survey

Help us understand awareness of grasslands conservation

Grasslands are one of Canada’s most at-risk ecosystems — yet awareness of their importance varies widely.

We’re conducting this survey to better understand how familiar Canadians are with grasslands conservation.

Your responses will help us understand:

How aware people are of grasslands and the challenges they face
What information is most recognized
Where awareness may still be limited

Native Prairie Grassland Conservation

Canada’s native prairie grasslands are an extraordinary component of our natural heritage. This habitat, with its dry grasses waving in the prairie wind, carries visions of the millions of thundering hooves of the Plains Bison that once roamed across the Great Plains of North America. It is a landscape resilient to extremes of drought and cold.

Saving Grasslands Through Sustainable Ranching

Most of the last remaining native grasslands exists on privately-managed ranches.

The Prairie Grassland Multi-species Project

The Canadian Wildlife Federation is partnering with the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Foundation and SODCAP (South of the Divide Conservation Action Program), Birds Canada, Carleton University, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and the University of Saskatchewan to study the effects of grazing on plant community structure, insect diversity, insect abundance, and bird distribution. Launched in 2021, with its first field season in 2022, this project is funded by the generous support of the Weston Family Foundation.
