About the Canadian Wildlife Federation:
This year the Canadian Wildlife Federation is celebrating its 50^th Anniversary.  Formed in 1962, CWF's unique combination of action, engagement and trusted environmental education has been at the forefront of Canadian conservation ever since. Throughout 2012, CWF will pay tribute to its rich history with a series of activities and events taking place across the country.

Today, with more than 300,000 members, CWF is Canada's largest conservation organization with activities, research and projects having taken place in virtually every community in Canada. Since 1962, the Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF) has advocated for the protection of Canada's wild species and spaces.

In a world where thousands of species fall extinct every year, there's an urgent need to understand that all living things are connected — that none of the five million species on Earth, including us, can survive without each other or without healthy ecosystems.
