Mission Statement

CPAWS envisages a healthy ecosphere where people experience and respect natural ecosystem.

We will achieve this by:

• protecting Canada's wild ecosystems in parks, wilderness and similar natural areas, preserving the full diversity of habitats and their species;
• promoting awareness and understanding of ecological principles and the inherent values of wilderness through education, appreciation and experience;
• encouraging individual action to accomplish these goals;
• working co-operatively with government, First Nations, business, other organizations and individuals in a consensus-seeking manner, wherever possible.

CPAWS believes that by ensuring the health of the parts, we ensure the health of the whole, which is our health too.
