Wilderness

Canadians know how lucky we are. Nearly one quarter of the planet's wild forests are inside our borders; 20% of the world's fresh water and 24% of the planet's wetlands are Canadian, too. It's an incredible national treasure... and it's under tremendous pressure.

Community

This site is a community of Canadians celebrating our wilderness – and working together to protect it. It's a place where you can share your wilderness experiences...plan an adventure with friends... and meet people like you who love the outdoors and our wild spaces.

Conservation

Real wilderness needs to be large enough to keep the natural balance – and that means thinking big. That's the vision behind The Big Wild. Conservation scientists believe we need to protect at least half of Canada's wild spaces to ensure the integrity of our ecosystems.

Fortunately, more than 90% of our wilderness is still in public hands... which means our bold vision can become a reality.
