You and I, wildlife and their habitat, are all connected. As the end of year approaches and we are spending more time with family, friends or on our own, it’s natural that we would reflect on the past year and look forward, with hope, to the brand-new year just around the corner!
The ongoing Canada Post strike is having a significant impact on the donations we receive by mail. This translates directly to our ability to fund and deliver critical conservation programs for vulnerable species. Canada’s wildlife family needs your help need your help this holiday season.

Why your support matters
A Seasonal Greeting from Sean Southey
"As the end of year approaches and you’re making plans, hopefully you will be connecting with friends and family. I also hope you take a moment today to celebrate and honour the connection you have with wildlife.
In the past year, your support has been truly inspiring. Thanks to your generosity and the trust you place in CWF, we’ve made incredible strides in our conservation work.
Canada is home to over 80,000 species of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, insects, and amphibians. Some, like moose, Canada geese, loons and beavers are iconic. Others are less known, but all species play an important role in Canada’s ecosystems and in the biodiversity of life on earth.
One thing we do know about the future is you are helping us make it better! By working together, we can keep a vigilant eye on the changes to our climate and planet. By studying and most importantly taking action on our discoveries, we will create a better future for wildlife and habitat. A future where pollinators are abundant, marine animals can feed and breed safely in the oceans, and salmon can pass unhindered through the rivers and streams to their spawning grounds.
Thank you for being such a big part of this important work and keeping wildlife in your heart at this time of year.
