The Canadian Wildlife Federation is encouraging all Canadians to join in our Do More For Wildlife challenge. Even though we need to keep our social distance right now, there are still many ways we can come together in spirit to #DoMoreForWildlife.

From actions like learning more about our wildlife and the places they call home, to exploring (safely!)nearby nature or doing a simple project that will benefit our wildlife, take a moment to explore all the different ways you can get involved. With so many possibilities to choose from, we can all rise to the challenge to #DoMoreForWildlife

Be sure to share with us what actions you are taking to #DoMoreForWildlife

Here’s What I Am Doing

So…come on Canada. We know how to rise to the challenge!

What is National Wildlife Week?

In 1947, Canadian Parliament officially proclaimed the week of April 10 as National Wildlife Week. April 10 is the birthday of the late Jack Miner, a Canadian conservationist known by some as the "father" of North American conservationism. "Wild Goose Jack,” as he was often referred, was one of the first conservationists to determine the migratory paths of North American birds and is credited with helping to save the iconic Canada Goose from the brink of extinction.

While we won’t all save an animal from extinction, we can all have a positive impact on our wildlife and the places they call home when we #DoMoreForWildlife.
