Everyone thinks that some agency, probably a government funded one, protects and cares for wild animals in distress. This is not the case at all! Although in Canada and in the U.S. wildlife is legally protected by Federal and Provincial (or State) agencies, no government agency is responsible for the rescue, treatment and release of injured or orphaned wildlife. Cochrane Ecological Institute's Swift Fox Reintroduction programs began in 1972 under the direction of Beryl and Miles Smeeton. Since that time 0ver 800 Swift fox were reintroduced to the Canadian Prairie. This has resulted in the Species being downlisted by the Canadian Government from Extirpated to Endangered. WHALEFORCE was started, by the CEI, in 1988 as an international Cetacean survey using blue-water and coastal racing and cruising yachtsmen/women as participants.

SES is committed to a healthy environment and sustainable resource use in Saskatchewan. We work to encourage informed decision-making that moves us towards sustainability. We undertake research, and use education, community outreach, consultation opportunities and demonstration projects. For over 30 years, SES has established a reputation for responsible, intelligent work. SES has been a primary influence on policy related to energy, land-use planning, forestry, hazardous materials, and renewable and non-renewable resource development. Through our educational programs we have reached thousands of young Saskatchewanians. The way we use water will be one of the major sustainability issues we will be working on. The renewed interest in nuclear power will require careful monitoring, research and critique. Climate change will bring new demands on our ingenuity. Our province, our country and our world need a strong, well-staffed and stable SES as we move into this future.

LPBLT was established in 1996 to protect and restore lands with significant ecological and cultural heritage qualities in the greater Long Point area, including Norfolk County, western Haldimand and eastern Elgin Counties, and parts of Brant and Oxford. The Trust focuses its efforts in one of the richest areas for biodiversity in Canada. Despite being a relatively densely populated and developed region, there remains enough habitat in this southern Great Lakes area to support populations of many significant species. The central Carolinian Region is internationally significant because of the species and habitats which occur (many rare or at risk); in addition, the Lake Erie drainage provides important water resource for communities in Canada and the United States. Long Point Basin Land Trust owns several nature reserve properties and leads a major multi-year effort to protect and recover reptile populations. LPBLT has recently launched a campaign to secure its fourth nature reserve.

The Calgary Zoological Society was officially founded in 1929. Key to the zoo’s mission is generating affection for the amazing animals that call the zoo home, and inspiring people to care about their wild relatives. Our education team delivers more than 800 school programs to 21,000 students each year focusing on topics ranging from water conservation to saving endangered species. The ultimate goal is to motivate the next generation to take action. The Calgary Zoo’s Centre for Conservation Research conducts innovative research and participates in reintroduction programs that help secure the future of many Canadian endangered species. In addition, conservation initiatives throughout the world are identified and supported through the zoo’s Conservation Outreach. Over the past five years, more than 25 projects were supported in 20 countries and most involve community-based initiatives – helping local people to participate in conservation efforts in their own backyard.

In 1969, a small but dedicated group of British Columbians launched a campaign to protect the magnificent forests and lakes of the Nitinat Triangle and West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island. There were no Canadian environmental groups working on forest and wilderness issues at that time, so they joined forces with the US Sierra Club. That energetic group became the first Sierra Club affiliate in Canada, later joining the national Sierra Club of Canada when it was formed. 40 years on, Sierra Club local groups around B.C. defend old-growth forests and ecosystems, help combat global warming and safeguard our clean air and water. Sierra Club BC staff meet regularly with government and business to ensure conservation viewpoints are heard, and to provide input on policy and budget decisions that affect the environment. Our grassroots base, science-based policies and pragmatism have helped to protect millions of hectares of B.C. wilderness.

Puppets-on-the-Go is a crate rental program with age appropriate activities tied to art, social studies, language arts and even math curriculum. The process is made easy as educators are supplied with clear instructions, materials and samples for their student’s creative process. The art-based activities initiate cooperation and discussion for the many learning styles in their classrooms. And the end result is a performance to be proud of. “My students responded really positively and were motivated to create their own show.” The production “Pigs in a Canoe and other Watery Stories” features stories about water, from the mysteries of the deep-sea tube-worms to the transportation of pigs on the Red River in 1817. Fun and thought provoking for all ages, touring communities all year long. WP Puppet Theatre also facilitates Puppet Power, the biennial international conference that brings together artists, educators and therapists to look at the power of puppetry beyond performance.
