The Big Wild!

Join us to learn how to protect Canada’s wilderness through The Big Wild!

Canada's great wilderness is decreasing at an alarming rate. Less than 10% of Canada and 1% of our oceans are lakes are protected. We need your help to protect at least half of Canada's public land and water before it's too late.

Join us June 19th at 7 pm
Join us at on June 19th at 7pm at the Vancouver Public Library to learn about The Big Wild, CPAWS-BC successes in 2007, our challenges for 2008, and how you can get involved through a
Big Wild Challenge.

What is the Big Wild?
The Big Wild refers to the part of Canada that is still in its natural state, where rivers flow free, big lakes and oceans lap against wild shores and animals roam. Our vision is to keep at least half of Canada's public land and water wild forever. The Big Wild is you and me, and every person across Canada who cares about conserving our environment.

Hear about some amazing Big Wild Challenges, including:
· a 3,100 km canoe trip through the Boreal forest of Manitoba and   Ontario,
· a back packing trip in the spectacular Flathead Valley, and
· a trip to the Cirque of the Unclimbables in NWT’s incredible   Nahanni National Park.

There will be door prizes and refreshments!
