Environmentalists/Conservationists
There are several non-profit organizations that are dedicated to the conservation and protection of the forests. These organizations are dedicated to protecting the environment and they use various methods in working toward their objectives. They may organize protests or boycotts, take the government to court, or launch campaigns in order to eliminate or reduce an impact on the forest.
Some of these organizations include:Forest Facts
- Ecojustice–fighting for your right to a healthy environment
- Alberta Wilderness Association–a voice for the environment
- Keepers of the Athabasca–working together to protect the waters of the Athabasca basin
- Greenpeace–standing up to protect air, land, and water
- Pembina Institute–leading Canada’s transition to clean energy
- Nature Alberta–a community connected by a love of nature
- Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS)–dedicated to the protection of our public land, ocean, freshwater and ensuring our parks are managed to protect the nature within them
Love Alberta Forests is an initiative of AFPA (the Alberta Forest Products Association), made possible by funding from FRIAA (the Forest Resource Improvement Association of Alberta). Although not an environmentalist group, Love Alberta Forests is a province-wide awareness campaign to highlight the beautiful relationship between Albertans and our forests. We are lucky to have an incredible forest resource that benefits us all, and our forest management practices are among the best in the world. Love Alberta Forests celebrates everything our forests do for us and the care with which we manage them in return.
