EMERGING ECO-THREAT

Petition: MicroPlastics

Take action! With over 202,000 km of coastline along three oceans and 891,163 square kilometres of its total area covered by fresh water, Canada is a nation defined by its connection to water. Unfortunately, those waters are under threat from a growing environmental concern — microplastics. We want to hear from you: this is your opportunity to have a say with our microplastics petition and survey.

A GIFT FOR WILDLIFE

You Can Help!

Wildlife is receiving yet another blow that they, quite frankly, don’t need. On top of dealing with plastics in our rivers, pesticides, habitat loss and so many other threats, Canada Post is on the brink of a possible strike. And the timing couldn’t be worse. The bulk of our important field work is done during the spring, summer and fall; and donations from supporters are critical to ensuring this work continues for the sake of wild species and spaces.
