Species are declining across the world, including here in BC where we have 1,900+ species and ecosystems at risk 🐾💔 We need healthy and diverse ecosystems for everything from food security to climate change resilience 🌎 That’s why Government Officials, Businesses, and Organizations are gathering at COP16 Colombia, the United Nations’ Biodiversity Summit. This year’s Summit is critical for action on the ground-breaking deal for nature that was signed and agreed on at COP15 in 2022, which included protecting at least 30% of lands and waters by 2030 🌱

Speaking up for wilderness in every corner of BC and deep into the ocean.
About us
The Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) is Canada’s only nationwide charity dedicated solely to the protection of our public land, ocean, and freshwater, and ensuring our parks and protected areas are managed to protect nature. Since 1963, CPAWS has played a leading role in protecting over half a million square kilometers. Our vision is to protect at least half of Canada’s public land and water in a framework of reconciliation – for the benefit of wildlife and people. The CPAWS British Columbia chapter (CPAWS-BC) works to protect wilderness in every corner of BC and deep into the ocean. We have been defending BC since 1978, and are dedicated to keeping BC’s natural environment thriving forever. Nature is BC’s best hope. CPAWS-BC defends public lands and the ocean. We work with Indigenous, provincial and federal governments with the goal of creating large protected and interconnected areas: places that can nurse nature through climate change and shelter plants and animals forever. Most of the land, freshwater and ocean in BC and on the coast is held in public trust. It is our shared responsibility to protect it for future generations. Our work to safeguard large parks, protected areas and wildlife corridors has been instrumental in protecting precious places across the province. Join us in the fight to safeguard special places across the province including Tatshenshini, Muskwa Kechika, South Okanagan-Similkameen, Gwaii Haanas (the southern tip of Haida Gwaii), and the Scott Islands.
