CPAWS Saskatchewan has been involved in the sustainable management of the Sturgeon River Plains Bison since 2005, when the herd numbered about 500 animals. Since then, over-hunting and an anthrax outbreak in 2008 have seen that number drop to about 100 today.
UN Report
Extinction is permanent. Once a species is gone, there’s no getting it back. The same can be said for much of the beautiful natural world that we all like to enjoy, especially here in Canada.
Stewards for the Land Program
The vision of the Stewards program is to provide Indigenous youth an opportunity to investigate natural resource careers while learning about their connection to the land and their own cultural heritage—keeping their stories and their traditional ways of interacting with the land alive and well in the face of a new, technology-savvy generation.
