CANADIAN PARKS AND WILDERNESS SOCIETY

Since their foundation in 1963, CPAWS have helped protect over 40 million hectares of Canada's most treasured wild places. CPAWS' structure is unique among national conservation groups: they are chapter-driven, yet nationally focused. CPAWS focuses on establishing new parks and making sure the needs of nature come first in their management. Wilderness areas, and the wildlife populations they support, need to be conserved and protected. Due to the variety of different campaigns and office sizes throughout Canada, CPAWS offers a variety of opportunities at both the National and Chapter levels. Some of these include volunteers to assist with the coordination of volunteers, office assistants and committee work.				CPAWS AIMS To protect Canada's wild ecosystems in parks, and wilderness preserving the full diversity of habitats and their species To promote awareness and understanding of ecological principles and the inherent values of wilderness To work co-operatively with government, First Nations, business, and other organizations
