Did you know…communities across Canada rely on wetlands to purify water? At CPAWS, we'll keep pushing to get nature in the 2025 Budget. 👉See our statement at link in bio/ cpaws.org/nature-bench...

A new report from the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development (Office of the Auditor General) shows we have the tools, knowledge, and public support to protect nature. What’s missing is political will and stable, long-term investment👉Read our statement: cpaws.org/nature-bench...

Le mois dernier, les membres de notre équipe de conservation ont rejoint des experts mondiaux au Congrès mondial de la nature afin de partager les perspectives canadiennes sur la valeur économique de la protection de la nature et d'apprendre des autres acteurs façonnant un avenir durable.🌿🦌

Canada's new budget is out—it's a swing and a miss. In a year when generational investment was expected, Budget 2025 is a stunning letdown that fails to mention nature at all. Catch our Statement: cpaws.org/nature-bench...

Dear Prime Minister…Without natural areas in our country and oceans, we risk unbalancing the planet's natural ability to keep us alive. We are moving towards a tipping point where natural systems will collapse in a chain reaction… (See the full text at cpaws.org/champions/da... )
