What we do

Our vision is to keep at least half of Canada's public land and water wild — forever. Find out more about the issues we are working on in Saskatchewan by clicking on one of the links below.

Issues
	Forests Canada is home to the world's largest remaining stretches of intact forests. We need to act now to safeguard the long term health of our boreal forests.
	Prairies Saskatchewan's prairie is part of a huge continental ecosystem called the Great Plains Grassland. But Grasslands are now one of North America’s most threatened ecosystems.
	Parks Canada has one of the oldest and most extensive parks systems in the world. CPAWS campaigns to create new parks while acting as a watchdog to ensure existing parks are well-managed.

Current campaigns
	Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement CPAWS plays a leading role in the Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement.
	Caribou Woodland Caribou are under serious threat due to habitat loss and expanding industrial development in their traditional range.
	Cypress Hills Cougar Research Cypress Hills is home to the highest density of cougars in North America at about 6 cougars / 100 square kilometres.
	Great Sand Hills The Great Sand Hills are one of Canada’s largest active sand dunes. Continued vigilance is necessary to ensure this great treasure is not compromised by oil and gas development.
	Saskatchewan River Delta The Saskatchewan River Delta has significant ecological and cultural significance and needs protecting
	Sturgeon River Plains Bison Management Planning The Sturgeon River Plains Bison are Canada’s only wild, free ranging herd of Plains bison still within their historic range.
	Protect the Prairie 80% of Saskatchewan's grasslands have already been lost forever. Now, the federal community pasture system is being dismantled, putting even more native grasslands at risk, while also leaving ranchers and critters out in the cold. Along with our friends at the Saskatchewan Environmental Society, CPAWS-Saskatchewan is very happy to be working with the Public Service Alliance of Canada on this campaign asking that governments make sure that balanced use, conservation and environmental protection guarantees are firmly in place before decisions are taken about our prairie grasslands’ future.
	Expand our Provincial Parks system CPAWS will continue to help Saskatchewan realize its goal for an expanded Provincial Park system.
	National Parks Management Planning Consultations CPAWS works to ensure that the provinces provincial parks are managed to protect the ecological integrity of the ecosystems they encompass.
