NWT Communities, Our Foundation

Because CPAWS-NWT is a grassroots organization, NWT communities are the foundation of our conservation work. Our results-based campaigns are driven by local desire to see special places protected for current and future generations.

Examples of our work with NWT communities include:

Providing funding, employment, training and on-the-ground support for Community Conservation Coordinators;
Providing training and employment for community fieldworkers on conservation research projects;
Providing technical information and reviewing protected areas planning through regional land use plans; and
Assisting community organizations with fundraising, proposal and report writing.
