CWF is dedicated to ensuring that our wildlife and natural spaces remain a treasured part of our country. The challenge is inspiring that same conservation ethic in new generations of Canadians to ensure they develop their own passion for wildlife conservation. At CWF, we develop education programs to help connect Canadians to nature. We encourage Canadians of all ages to participate in individual conservation actions and to experience, enjoy and value nature. In an ever-increasing urban society, the greatest challenge is developing those connections to our natural world. Education and experiential learning are key pillars in programming designed to meet this challenge.

Canada is the second largest country in the world; the land area of our country is almost 10 million Km². But what is often forgotten is that our country also includes more than seven million Km² of ocean and more than 200,000 Km of coastline!

Canada has the fortune of being home to thousands of wildlife species and vast areas of land and water on which they depend. From coastal and marine systems to the mountainous Rockies, grassland prairies, great lakes and boreal forest, wilderness is synonymous with our country.

Canadian forests and farmlands play key roles for our communities, our economy, and our wildlife. The health of the majority of Canada’s wildlife depends on conservation actions taken in our forests, fields and farmlands.

With over two million lakes and rivers and 20 per cent of the world’s freshwater, Canada has an incredible abundance of aquatic natural resources. Canadians share a deep connection to freshwater. Many of us enjoy swimming, boating, and fishing or simply admiring the scenery of a natural lake or wild river.
