THE LATEST NEWS FROM CPAWS VIEW AS A WEB PAGE WHAT WE DO TAKE ACTION DONATE      Ask for investment in nature in the 2021 federal budget Dear fellow nature champion, We implore you: make your voice heard for nature now! We have the biggest opportunity in a generation to conserve nature. But to achieve this we need the federal government to follow through on its commitments to protect 25% of Canada’s land and ocean by 2025, and 30% by 2030, by investing in nature. We need your help to make this happen. It is time to act. You have until February 19 to have your voice heard as part of the government’s federal pre-budget consultation. This is urgent! The federal government is currently defining its next budget, and investment in nature needs to be a priority. Even in the midst of a pandemic, biodiversity loss and climate change are still among the greatest threats to humanity. Canada can set the tone globally for nature protection by ensuring the country’s ecosystems and wildlife recover with us. Send a letter to the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister, and your Member of Parliament today! Canada can only build back better with nature on board.   Sincerely, Steve Moran CPAWS National Director, Policy

 

When grizzly bear populations are healthy, so are many of the other species that share the landscape as well. Keeping them connected matters, says Y2Y's senior U.S. program co-ordinator, Nick Clarke in a recent guest column in the Missoulian. "Communities in the Bow Valley are leaders in human-wildlife coexistence – other mountain towns in western North America look to Canmore and Banff for the best examples of how to live with wildlife," says Dr. Hilary Young, Y2Y's senior Alberta program manager. "These development proposals fall short of what wildlife and people need."
