Join CPAWS on Friday, September 27th in solidarity with concerned citizens and groups across 150 countries for the Global Climate Strike. This is a worldwide movement led by youth who are empowered to take charge of how society responds to the climate crisis. Nature is our best hope. The establishment of large, interconnected protected areas allows wildlife to move between habitats in response to climate shifts that are already underway. 

Check out our recently published climate report for our policy recommendations for making use of nature-based solutions to address climate change and biodiversity loss simultaneously.

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.

BC Bear Day is September 22nd! We’ll be out with our friends from Raincoast Conservation Foundation, Coast to Cascades and more in North Vancouver!

In the southwest corner of BC, grizzly bear numbers are declining at an alarming rate due to habitat loss and human-caused deaths.

Join us in supporting grizzly recovery strategies and habitat security measures.

This event will take place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded Indigenous territories of the  sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) First Nations.
