Canada’s wildlife is facing unprecedented threats
From climate change to habitat loss, pollution, and human activity, the once-vibrant ecosystems that span our nation are now in rapid decline. Species that once thrived in abundance are now on the brink of extinction. From coast to coast, Canadian wildlife is disappearing—pushed to the edge by circumstances they cannot control. Every moment counts when it comes to funding critical conservation programs for species at risk.
The Facts Are Alarming:
- Canada is home to nearly 80,000 species of plants and animals, many of which are in decline.
- 20 per cent of Canadian species are at risk of extinction.
- Climate change has intensified natural disasters like wildfires, floods and droughts, making it harder for wildlife to survive and adapt.
They Cannot Speak for Themselves—But You Can
Every day, our wildlife must navigate shrinking habitats, polluted waterways and fragmented ecosystems. They cannot stand up for their right to exist as their homes are destroyed by human activity. But you have the power to speak for them. Your voice and support give them a fighting chance at survival.
When you contribute to the Canadian Wildlife Federation, you are ensuring that species like the Monarch Butterfly, North Atlantic Right Whale and Chinook Salmon have a future. Your donations help us conserve their habitats, and way of life.
Here are some of our current projects:
- We’ve created pollinator-friendly habitats across Ontario and Quebec to support crucial species like bees and butterflies.
- We’re partnering with the fishing industry to introduce on-demand fishing gear in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, reducing entanglement risks for North Atlantic Right Whales.
- We’ve restored access to more than 3.3 million square metres of habitat at 26 sites throughout British Columbia, giving fish and other aquatic species a fighting chance.
- We work tirelessly with government and local communities to ensure that wildlife gets the legal protection it needs.
