Description
About the Wilderness Committee
The Western Canada Wilderness Committee was founded in BC in 1980, and is now the largest membership-based, citizen-funded wilderness preservation organization in Canada. We are passionate about saving wilderness and wildlife, and in all of our work we are inspired and informed by the wild places we seek to protect.
Across the country, the Wilderness Committee has 27,000 members and an additional support base of 30,000 donors. We maintain offices in four provinces and an on-the-ground presence in many Canadian communities. It is the combined voices of our thousands of supporters, in partnership with our dedicated board, staff, and volunteers that has allowed the Wilderness Committee to campaign successfully to protect millions of hectares of Canadian wilderness in over 40 key wilderness areas.
How We Work
Underlying our work is a belief that we have the duty, the ability, and the right to stand up for the public interest and protect Canada's and Earth's biodiversity. We believe that when people know about Canada's threatened wilderness and wildlife they will act too. We reach out to 5 million people each year through door-to-door canvasses, educational publications, rallies and events, and the media. Our educational mission is supported by a strong research and mapping program, strategic alliances with other environmental groups, First Nations and community leaders, and regular expeditions into threatened wilderness areas.
