WWF-Canada has launched many ambitious conservation programs. These programs tackle some of the most daunting conservation challenges facing the country as well as the broader international community.
Conservation
WWF works to conserve species at risk, protect threatened habitats and address global threats. We find long-term solutions that benefit both people and nature.
What Does WWF Work On?
Global Warming
WWF's Climate Change Program is fighting global warming on every scale, from local communities to the international arena. Our goal is to get everyone working together on real solutions – to use less energy, to use clean energy and to help live with the effects of global warming.
Canada's Pacific
British Columbia’s Pacific Coast is filled with magnificent species and spaces. From sea floor to mountain summit, this region is home to a staggering abundance of natural diversity. WWF-Canada’s goal is to strike a balance between conservation and development that supports healthy environments, vibrant cultures and sustainable economies.
Canada's Atlantic
The Northwest Atlantic Ecoregion (NWAE) is home to a stunning array of wildlife, including more than 20 million seabirds and 17 species of whales, along with magnificent spaces such as The Gully. WWF-Canada’s goal is to help create a diverse, healthy ecosystem that supports fisheries and communities over the long-term.
Freshwater
Nowhere on the planet are fewer people stewards of such vast freshwater resources as in Canada. The country ranks among the world's top nations in terms of renewable water supply and shares the planet's largest freshwater ecosystem – the Great Lakes. Such global treasures make Canada enviable in an increasingly thirsty and warming world.
Mackenzie Valley
WWF-Canada’s Mackenzie River Basin Conservation Program aims to protect key habitats, including critical forest and freshwater ecosystems within the watershed, and ensure a network of protected areas is established before any industrial development occurs in the area.
Species
Across Canada over 500 species are dangerously close to extinction. WWF-Canada’s species program tackles global trade in endangered species, funds research into species at risk and works to reduce the effects of climate change on species.
