Protection Brings Hope for Canada's Wildlife
In recent months the Canadian Government has announced protection for nearly 14.5 million hectares (36 million acres) in key areas of the Boreal Forest. This is fantastic news for the birds, caribou, bears and wolves that depend on this fragile ecosystem! Positive reinforcement works, so thank the Government of Canada by sending the Prime Minister a letter!

To All Members: Call For Resolutions
Resolutions for 2008 reflect the collective will of our members and affiliates on issues that are important to us all. We use resolutions as an effective tool for lobbying individuals, government agencies and decision makers about endangered animals and other species, protected areas and wildlife conservation. We invite all Nature Canada members to propose resolutions. Deadline for submissions is March 17, 2008, 90 days prior to Nature Canada's AGM.
