About Us
 
     
  With over 30,000 members and 30,000 additional donors and volunteers, the Wilderness Committee is Canada’s largest membership-based, citizen-funded wilderness preservation group. We’ve helped to gain protection for over 40 major wilderness areas in western Canada, including millions of hectares of critical wildlife habitats, some of the world’s last large tracts of old-growth temperate rainforest and boreal forest. And yet much more remains to be done…  
     
 
Our Mission
 
  Western Canada Wilderness Committee works to protect Canada and Earth's biodiversity through strategic research and grassroots education. We work on the ground to achieve ecologically sustainable communitities. We work only through lawful means.
