As part of our ongoing mission
to protect our precious natural areas, the Wilderness
Committee is continually investigating new campaigns.
Here is some of the work we are doing: |

Protecting Wild
Lands
Each year,
humankind's appetite for the world's limited resources
increases and development interests extend their
reach further afield. Wild places and their inhabitants
are becoming more valuable than ever. For this reason,
we think big! We are pushing for more public awareness,
stronger alliances and thus greater successes in
protecting wild lands. |

Lake
Winnipeg and Toxins campaign
Lake Winnipeg, the tenth-largest lake in
the world, is suffering from decades of
environmental neglect. At the Wilderness
Committee we are working on raising awareness
of:
- the state of Lake Winnipeg
- how our daily actions affect the lake
- what we must change to ensure a healthy
lake in the future.

Forestry Audit
We are blessed in
Manitoba with huge tracts of healthy forests
that are vital to our future health and
well-being. The majority of the forests
in the province, however, are in the control
of large corporations from outside of
Manitoba. In many other provinces large
logging corporations have shown a “cut
and run” business model—profits
take precedence over sustainability and
opportunity for Manitobans; environmental
degradation is favored over our health
and the welfare of our wild lands.
We must ensure that the forestry practices
in Manitoba are aimed at sustaining our
health, our environment, our wilderness,
and our economy.
