What Taking Action for Wildlife Means to Us
Taking action for wildlife isn’t just about getting your hands dirty. Taking action requires learning, expanding your understanding about the issues facing wildlife. It means sharing what you’ve learned with your family and friends so that they, too, can understand the threats facing wildlife.
It means documenting and submitting those observations of the wildlife around you — essential information scientists and policy makers use to effect decisions for our wildlife. It means moving ourselves and others with wildlife photography, placing our wild neighbours closer in Canadians’ hearts, which in turn influences how we treat wildlife. It means signing petitions, taking pledges — being the voices for our wildlife who are mostly silent.
And it also means digging shovels into the ground, hammering nails into wood and picking up garbage from shorelines.
This is why our CWF #DoMoreForWildlife Action Calendar includes all manner of tasks to help Canada’s wildlife. Learning about a Canadian habitat where some of our species live can be just as important as planting a tree to help that habitat thrive. Spreading what you’ve learned with others means more hearts can be moved to take action for wildlife. Sharing your wildlife photography can be just as important in helping a misunderstood species than legislating changes that will help that species survive. One leads to the other.
Thank you for every action you take to help conserve our precious Canadian wildlife.
