Happy holidays, we'll see you in the new year to protect more nature! Our offices will be closed until January 5th, but you can still make a year-end gift to ensure we can sustain the fight for nature into the new year and beyond. Wildernesscommittee.org/Donate

We’ve been working with ecologist Mike Henry and volunteers to survey potential old-growth forests in the 65% of Algonquin Provincial Park that is open to logging. We found plenty of old growth, mostly unprotected, with some actively scheduled for logging. #Ontario www.thestar.com/news/ontario...

Donate once, make twice the impact. A generous donor will match your gift today — dollar for dollar! Five years is all the time Canada has to protect 30% of lands & waters by 2030. A tall order but an achievable one, if we act boldly, act now & act together. WildernessCommittee.org/give-bsky

June 2025: We released a report warning that the B.C. government planned to log critical caribou habitat. October 2025: The logging has already begun. Southern mountain caribou are hanging on by a thread, and the B.C. government is still chipping away at their old-growth habitat.

Good news for Duck Mountain provincial park is also good news for the #Manitoba office storage room! The last of this giant stack of files is headed for the recycler now. We couldn’t be happier to see them go, along with Louisiana Pacific’s power over our forests. 🎄 Bye! We won’t miss you!

Spotted owls (and other at-risk species) can’t survive without old-growth forests. So why is the Carney government handing $1.2B to the forest industry in the same year it finally released a recovery plan that requires protecting old-growth habitat? These two things don’t add up.

The study only cited unpublished Monsanto studies, ignoring other contradictory research that existed at the time. #herbicide

"It was clearly above the threshold for what the government is supposed to be protecting, and what industry is supposed to be protecting," old-growth advocate Joshua Wright said in an interview. #oldgrowth #bcpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Dr. Sawatzky is concerned that #fossilfuel extraction is playing a role in an increased risk of respiratory diseases. Asthma has been linked to air pollution & a Canadian study documented the increased risk among Albertans living near #oilandgas activity. thenarwhal.ca/canada-docto...

Chiefs representing more than 600 First Nations voted unanimously for Ottawa to uphold the oil-tanker ban and to withdraw from the deal between the federal and Alberta governments that could see a pipeline project pushed through. #cdnpoli #pipeline

Northern bottlenose whales have struggled to rebound even decades after whaling bans. But a population off Canada’s east coast is finally recovering after the Gully submarine canyon became a Marine Protected Area in 2004 — a rare marine conservation success.

Did we hear that right? Is Forest Minister Parmar trying to gaslight us? 🤔 Every day, irreplaceable #oldgrowth and critical habitat continue to fall while the BC NDP government claims progress. If you’re tired of talk-and-log politics, now’s the moment to act.

It’s important to note that negative #climate tipping points cannot be reversed. This means that if the world underestimates how certain events could trigger a climate tipping point, we might run out of time to act before the damage becomes irreversible.

"The risks to federalism, Indigenous reconciliation, and our ability to navigate a hostile global trading environment make it clear that this is a profound strategic error." www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/1...

Hey Winnipeg! Manitoba’s climate and environment NGOs are hosting a holiday party and we’d love to see you there. Come celebrate the wins and commiserate the challenges of 2025! When: December 15th, 5-7 PM Where: The Forks Market building, 2nd floor. RSVP here: climateactionmb.ca/manitoba-env...

2025 has not been a good year for the climate 😵‍💫 Across Canada, governments are rolling back environmental protections, using U.S. tariffs as an excuse. The only real path forward? Ending #fossilfuel dependence and rapidly building a renewable energy future. #cdnpoli #climate

The study found that the Pentagon earmarked billions of dollars to secure a growing list of critical minerals for use in military hardware – from precision-guided weaponry to emerging military technologies such as “AI-driven autonomous warfare platforms”.

Canada is home to ~25% of the world’s peatlands, containing around 150 billion tonnes of carbon. But they’re under threat. Today, WCS Canada launched a proposed National Peatland Strategy, built with 100+ experts 🌎

#COP30 failed to adopt a proposal to develop a roadmap to transition away from fossil fuels. In other words, 3 decades have consolidated an astounding contradiction: an agreement to get to net-zero w/out acknowledging the need to wind down #fossilfuels.

We have a special present for B.C. Forest Minister, Ravi Parmar 🎁 This week, our volunteers got crafty with cards that call out Minister Parmar's misleading claims about #oldgrowth logging and demand real action to protect these irreplaceable forests.

Look who we found on this winter-wonderland day! It's concerned specialist Dennis Leneveu! Dennis has showed up with his expertise to help fight Sio Silica's sand mine since the very beginning... and you can still help! Take action via WildernessCommittee.org/StopSio

Ksi Lisims #LNG has passed all the hurdles but one — a final investment decision expected next year. #Gitanyow sent a letter to 40 banks & pension funds to respect Gitanyow rights + urge them not to provide financing for the proposed project. Full letter 👇

The deal proposes rolling back several environmental initiatives that had been proposed by the federal government under former prime minister Justin Trudeau, including on clean electricity, methane, clean technology and carbon pricing. #cdnpoli #climate

HAPPENING TODAY 🎨 Arts & crafts for old-growth! Minister of Forests (Ravi Parmar) is hosting a holiday card contest. Why not give him exactly what he asked for… with a little festive flair 😉 🎄 Event information 👇 #oldgrowth #bcpoli

Remember this? The Manitoba government hasn't fixed the severe underfunding of conservation and the environment, something they desperately need to do as the province faces more climate-fueled crises each year. To protect nature you must fund its guardians.

Sio Silica is back with a whole "new" proposal and the same old bad attitude, having ignored or denied all 3 things the Clean Environment Commission said they needed to move forward. How arrogant can you get? You can tell the #Manitoba government what you think here: WildernessCommittee.org/StopSio

🎄 Holiday Card Craft Night: Send a Message to the Minister of Forests! 🌲 JOIN US for a craft night to make the cutest, sassiest, most heartfelt cards reminding the Minister that what we really want this season is healthy, protected forests. #VancouverIsland #Victoria

From Manitoba campaigner @ericreder.bsky.social in today's Winnipeg Free Press: A 50-year arc of increasing care for nature is in a steep descent as we are forced to consider proposals to contaminate aquifers for private profiteers. #MBpoli #SioSilica www.wildernesscommittee.org/news/recogni...

BREAKING: Yesterday the Ford government passed Bill 68, the Plan to Protect Ontario Act, quietly legislating the removal of lands from Wasaga Beach Provincial Park, including public access beaches and critical habitat for endangered piping plovers. #ONpoli www.wildernesscommittee.org/news/ontario...

We’re disappointed to see the City of Vancouver approve a devastating austerity budget, with no clarity on what services, programs and plans will be cut. Despite hundreds opposing this budget by speaking in person or writing in, Mayor Sim and ABC party chose to push it through anyway. #VanPoli

BREAKING: Federal government subsidizing logging industry that continues to clearcut in federally-mapped endangered species habitat www.wildernesscommittee.org/news/wildern... #cdnpoli

Seven insect species are found nowhere in the world — except in South Okanagan and the Similkameen Valleys. This ecosystem is home to unique #biodiversity. But it is also one of the most endangered #ecosystems in Canada. Read more and take action: www.wildernesscommittee.org/our-work/okanagan

“We want our lands free from agribusiness, oil exploration, illegal miners and illegal loggers," said Gilmar, an Indigenous leader from the Tupinamba community near the lower reaches of the Tapajos River in Brazil.

The @cityofvancouver.bsky.social’s draft budget slashes funding for climate and sustainability, arts, culture and services —pretty much everything except police. There’s still time for councillors to do the right thing and vote it down. Take action here: www.wildernesscommittee.org/take-action/...

Goldstream is a vital spawning ground for #salmon and home to countless other species. If the Malahat highway expansion is approved, their critical habitat will be destroyed. Take action: www.wildernesscommittee.org/SaveGoldstre... Photo: Salmons in #Goldstream River (Agathe Bernard)

"It’s concerning that our prime minister thinks that it’s important to be touting fossil fuels projects," - Isabel Siu-Zmuidzinas, Wilderness Committee. #stoplng #cdnpoli

Fracking companies extract a staggering amount of freshwater from local lakes and rivers, which is mixed with harmful chemicals to create frac fluid. This poisonous water can seep into aquifers, causing lasting pollution. Photo: polluted water at #fracking site (Agathe Bernard)

The BC NDP must be held accountable for breaking their promises to protect #oldgrowth and primary forests. Today, we joined people all across B.C. to call for the protection of these ancient forests 🌲🌲🌲 #bcpoli

ICYMI: We were busy this weekend greeting Premier Eby + NDP convention goers with a clear message - it's time to ban fracking. #endfracking #bcpoli

Manitoba is an extremely sunny and windy province. Our new special report shows how we can foster renewable energy to move away from fossil fuels: climateactionmb.ca/the-immense-...

For federal gov cheerleaders after the first budget passed, a reality check: In one of the coldest big cities on the planet--Winnipeg, Manitoba-- there are still veggies growing in my garden in late November. Yet the Liberal gov in Canada is investing our future in big oil expansion. SAY NO TO LNG!

We are keeping up the energy to protect #Goldstream River! #bcpoli Join Elder Carl Olsen on his weekly protest tomorrow. More information 👇

While the B.C. and Canadian governments have emphasized the Nisg̱a’a Lisims Government’s stake in the Ksi Lisims project, documents filed with the B.C. government show the primary owner and operator of Ksi Lisims is Texas-based Western LNG. #lng #cdnpoli

The last of old-growth forests in B.C. are under siege. Join us in pushing back against an industry-captured government that continues to ignore science, sustainability and economic reality. #oldgrowth #bcpoli Find protest times, locations and downloadable posters here: savewhatsleft.ca/protest

Since Manitobans elected a new government in 2023, we’ve seen an INCREASE in the number of mining claims in provincial parks. #Whiteshell #Manitoba Write your letter and tell Manitoba’s elected officials to #EndParkMining at wildernesscommittee.org/EndParkMining
