Canadian Parks & Wilderness Society

Our vision is to keep at least half of Canada’s public land and water wild — forever. We focus on protecting large, connected areas of Canada’s wilderness. Canada has one of the oldest and most extensive parks systems in the world. CPAWS advocates for new parks and acts as a watchdog to ensure that existing ones are well-managed. With pressures on our wilderness growing, creating more parks and ensuring existing ones are well-funded and protected is more important than ever.
