About Us

For nearly 40 years, the Canadian Wildlife Federation has worked for the conservation of our natural heritage. As the nation's largest non-profit, non-governmental conservation organization, we represent the voices of countless Canadians concerned about the well-being of wild species and spaces. We are dedicated to raising awareness of the impacts of human activities on the environment, promoting the sustainable use of our natural resources, conducting and sponsoring research relating to wildlife and the environment , and recommending legislative changes to protect wildlife and its habitat. We take special pride in our ever-growing family of WILD Education programs, which have been developed in partnership with federal, provincial, and territorial wildlife agencies.
