Founded by Mountain Equipment Co-op and the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, The Big Wild is a conservation movement that makes it easy for you to stand up for wilderness protection campaigns. Join us in calling on our political representatives to protect Canada’s precious public land and water forever. Do something small to save something big.

The Alberta government is building a land-use plan that will determine what is protected and what is developed for industry. The time to influence the Alberta government is now.
