Raising the Voice for Nature

Mission


“As the voice for nature, we cultivate and strengthen the connections and conditions needed for species and habitats to flourish.”

Our North Star:

The Normalization of Nature in Decision-Making

An aerial, wide-angle shot of a winding river snaking through a lush, dense green forest at sunset. The river creates a sharp S-curve in the center of the frame, leading toward a larger, still lake on the right that reflects the soft orange and pink hues of the sky. The horizon is topped with wispy, feathery clouds caught in the glow of the setting sun, fading into a deep twilight blue.

This work must grow from the soil of reconciliation:

Recognizing Indigenous Peoples as the stewards of these lands and waters, honouring their knowledges and wisdom, and supporting their leadership in conservation and governance.

Like a mycelium network beneath a thriving forest…

If we…

Inspire connection

Activate a movement

Equip with tools/resources

Bridge local with national advocacy

Influence policy & the public

Then we can…

Protect & restore nature

Shift culture & governance

So that…

Nature flourishes across Canada

Our Vision

A Canada where nature is restored, thriving, and an integral part of everyday life, rooted in all the decisions that shape our shared future.

In the background, the grand stone architecture of the Parliament building is bathed in bright afternoon sunlight under a clear, pale blue sky. Modern city buildings are visible to the far left, creating a contrast between the historic landmark and the contemporary urban landscape.
