CPAWS Action Centre

Over 90% of Canada's land and all of our waters are publicly owned, so your voice matters when it comes to conservation. Here you can take action – write to decision makers, sign a petition, attend an event, or do even more – to help protect Canada's wilderness.

Jasper is not a theme park
Jasper is not a theme park
Canada’s treasured Jasper National Park could be on its way to gaining a theme park-like attraction. US-owned Brewster Travel Canada wants to blast out the side of the cliff beside the Icefields Parkway to build the Glacier Discovery Walk. This would be a walkway and a massive glass-floored "skywalk" extending over the Sunwapta Valley. This may signal the start of a renewed surge of commercial development within our Rocky Mountain national parks.

Protect Chignecto wilderness
Protect Chignecto wilderness
The Nova Scotia government has committed to establishing a “large” wilderness area on public lands within, and near, the Chignecto Game Sanctuary. But, the final boundaries of this protected wilderness area have yet to be determined, leaving the entire area vulnerable to clearcutting, open-pit mining, seismic testing, and a wide range of other industrial activities.
