Unit 3 - Managing Canada's Forests Today
Lesson 4: Not-for-Profit Organizations
Many not-for-profit organizations, such as environmental groups, play an important role in the management of Canada's forests by promoting the protection and wise use of forest ecosystems. They accomplish this through developing educational materials,
organizing conferences, and building public awareness regarding forest-related issues. Many of these organizations carefully monitor the forests and compile databases that track significant changes in the ecosystem. This data is then made accessible
to decision-makers.
Examples of not-for-profit organizations operating in Canada include the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS), the David Suzuki Foundation, and the Canadian Forestry Association (CFA).
