In Brief:
If we want to see the protection of endangered forests, grasslands, wetlands, and native ecosystems across Canada on a much larger scale, it will take:
Expanding the conservation movement to really engage “non-traditional allies” (eg's. businesses, unions, diverse faith groups, scientists and academics, multi-cultural outreach, outdoor recreation groups) to build sufficient clout to change policy.
Major support for Indigenous Protected Areas proposals, policy-wise and funding.
Fighting for places, not just policies, by supporting local conservation champions.
These are the needed game-changers to go from 11% protection right now to 50% by 2030 in Canada. This is our mandate.
We are new, just over 1 year old, and greatly need your support (& please consider monthly or recurring giving).

With your support we promise to make a profound difference in 2020. Future generations thank you most gratefully!
