Natural Spaces
Wilderness, parks and other natural spaces are woven into the Canadian identity and critical for the survival of all living things. Global warming means that wildlife need more space to adapt to climate change, and forests and wilderness are now more important than ever: as fixers of carbon dioxide and coolers of the atmosphere.
Sadly, industries often work hand-in-glove with governments as they ignore these truths, destroying critical habitat and pushing endangered Canadian plant and animal species closer to extinction: the monarch butterfly, the blue ash, the northern spotted owl, the North Atlantic right whale and hundreds of others.
In the courts, and court of public opinion, our lawyers and scientists focus hard on fighting this mindless destruction.
