CPAWS-BC is proud to sponsor “The Great Green Wall” at VIFF 2019.
The Great Green Wall is about more than restoring degraded land. It’s about revitalizing communities and fostering sustainable economies, with the understanding that a healthy environment is the bedrock of any healthy society. This line of vegetation could also help to break a cycle of migration which may force up to 85 million people to leave their homes by 2050.
In an ever-changing climate, wildlife and people are being pushed to find new places to thrive. By protecting large areas of nature on land in in the ocean, we help to build resilient ecosystems that can adapt to change and continue to support life.
