Learn how you can help protect more of Alberta's wilderness:

  • Athabasca Heartland: Alberta's last and greatest stronghold of ecological integrity, located in the Northeast corner of the province.  The Lower Athabasca planning region under the new government's land use planning is a large part of the Athabasca Heartland.

  • Chinchaga Wilderness: This endangered eco-region in Northwest Alberta is home to old-growth, lakes, marshes, peatlands, woodland caribou, grizzly bear, and wolverine.

  • The Rocky Mountain Foothills: This area contains the Kakwa, Little Smoky, and Bighorn County endangered forests – the best of the remaining Rocky Mountain Foothills wilderness is under threat of development.

  • The Yellowstone to Yukon Initiative
  • Wolverine Wilderness: The last chance for a world class protected area in the dry mixed wood forest of Alberta.
  • The Big Wild: Join the movement for more and bigger protected areas across Canada!
