Learn what CWF has been up to this year. 

It is with the ongoing support from our dedicated supporters that we continue to work towards ensuring a lasting legacy of wildlife and wild places for future generations. We are encouraged by the countless Canadians who make a difference in their communities either through action or awareness. It is this love of wildlife and commitment to conservation that truly inspires us to continue our work. 
 
Although Canadians are becoming increasingly active in environmental and conservation initiatives, there is still much to be accomplished in order to restore and maintain habitat. Ongoing issues, such as climate change, invasive species, the decline in water quality, habitat loss, the pollution of fresh water environments, endangered species and numerous other problems are arising in Canada’s three marine ecosystems. It is important that each of these issues be addressed, as they not only affect our wildlife and their habitats, but humans as well.   

This year, an ecological-issues assessment was conducted to assess the most urgent issues facing Canada’s environment and wildlife. The assessment prompts CWF to focus its resources on the most ecologically important issues and to ensure that our efforts have the largest impact. The three critical issues identified during the 2009 assessment were climate change, water issues related to fresh water and marine conservation, and endangered species.

Research, education and conservation are dependent on financial support. Without it, conservation would fall by the wayside, along with the wildlife that relies on it for survival.  CWF offers funding to scientific and other research, conservation action programs and environmental education programs through three vehicles: the Canadian Wildlife Foundation, the Canadian Wildlife Federation and CWF’s Endangered Species Program.

Without financial support, innovative conservation actions, research and programs would not be feasible. And without this work, Canadian wildlife would continue to decline. CWF offers funding to scientific and other research, conservation action programs and environmental education programs through two vehicles: the Canadian Wildlife Foundation and the Canadian Wildlife Federation.
