Water is a precious resource that supports fish and wildlife populations; provides important ecological functions; is used in agriculture, industry and recreation; not to mention the main source of drinking water for many Canadians. |
Every indigenous species of Canada plays an important ecological role, yet more than 540 animals and plants are at risk in Canada, not to mention those that have already gone extinct. |

Game Farming
Let’s leave wildlife where it belongs — in the wild! CWF has for many years fought to prevent the establishment of game farming in Canada.
Invasive Species
Invasive alien species are overrunning our lands and waters and are forcing native plants and animals out of their homes.
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
The US government wants to open up the coastal plain of the refuge to oil and gas exploration. This coastal plain is vital to the health and survival of many northern species and is of prime ecological significance to the refuge.
Aquaculture
The practice of aquaculture is threatening Canada’s wild fish populations as it creates fecal and seed pellet pollution, introduces diseases, and can result in the introduction of non-native species.
Wind Turbines
Wind generated energy is a renewable and sustainable form of energy that does not emit greenhouse and acid gas emissions. However, they require careful planning to protect Canada’s wildlife, especially birds and bats.
Pollinators
Pollination is one of the most important ecological processes on the planet. Yet, our pollinators are in trouble due to a loss of habitat, toxic chemicals, parasites and diseases, and climate change.
