What we do

CPAWS has helped protect over 40 million hectares of Canada's most treasured wild places while working closely with First Nations, government, industry and non-governmental organizations.

Issues

Parks

Parks

CPAWS spends much time “creating” parks. With industry and others vying for dwindling wilderness in British Columbia, it’s important for CPAWS to save as many deserving wild places as we can, as fast as we can. CPAWS remains committed to creating new permanent protection of lands and oceans. Our goal: to keep at least half of B.C. wild forever. Learn more about Parks
Wilderness and Wildlife Protection

Wilderness and Wildlife Protection

CPAWS creates wilderness protection in every corner of British Columbia and deep into the Pacific Ocean. We create national parks, protected areas and wildlife corridors. Our goal is to protect at least half of British Columbia and keep it wild forever. Learn more about Wilderness and Wildlife Protection
Marine

Marine

The Pacific coast of Canada hosts a globally significant diversity of marine life and ecosystems, but too often, our oceans are out of sight and out of mind, and they are in serious trouble. We need to create marine “parks” – places where conservation is a priority and humans tread lightly. Learn more about Marine
Future generations

Future generations

Nature will always need guardians. CPAWS works to make sure that protected wilderness – on land and sea – remains safeguarded for future generations. The natural environment, whether on land or in our coastal waters, is an important influence on human health. Learn more about Future generations
