Who We Are
Wildlands League is one of Canada’s pre-eminent conservation organizations, collaborating with communities, governments, Indigenous Peoples, scientists and progressive industry to protect nature and find solutions that work for the planet and for all. We are a team of relentless policy experts, strategists and communications experts and have been working in the public interest since 1968, beginning with a campaign to protect Algonquin Park from development. Our vision is to protect at least half of Canada’s land, freshwater and ocean so that future generations can experience and benefit from Canada’s irreplaceable natural wonders and ecosystems.
