CPAWS: Making an environmental impact in Canada
Last year we kicked off our company environmental policy by donating 5% of our profits to the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS). Today, we are pleased to announce that this groundbreaking environmental non-profit has managed to protect 400,000 hectares of Canadian wilderness in 2009. Some of their major highlights include the huge expansion of the Nahini National Park, and the addition of a massive protected wilderness area near Ship Harbour, Nova Scotia (which is the largest protected area to be added to Nova Scotia in a decade).
Our heartiest congratulations go to all the staff at CPAWS who have worked incredibly hard this year to preserve Canada’s unique wilderness.
*Note: If you are interested in donating to CPAWS more information can be found on their site.
Thanks for this awesome support to CPAWS. We truly appreciate your support for our work to advance wilderness protection in Canada! Your contribution will help us to move forward in 2010 with an ambitious agenda to continue establishing new protected areas on land and water across the country. We’ll also be continuing our work to ensure that parks — once they’re established – are managed to protect their ecological integrity.
