What We Do Programs in Canada This is our home. And we’re working to protect it. Canada is home. We’re known for our work in Africa. But in a modern global village, our work in Africa is intimately linked to life at home in Canada. The rare minerals in Canada’s cell phones are mined – to great devastation – in African communities; the demand that drives the illegal wildlife trade is alive and well in Canada; and the environmental inequity faced by some African communities is all too well known by Indigenous populations here. So we proudly bring our method of community-centred conservation home to Canada. Our Canadian Mandate: Empower young people to do what previous generations couldn’t: protect our shared home; Partner with Indigenous-led organizations to tackle environmental inequity, biodiversity loss, and climate change; Inspire hope and enable action through national campaigns. Active Programs Roots & Shoots We’re empowering young people to lead their own conservation initiatives from coast-to-coast-to-coast.

The greatest danger to our future is apathy. Dr. Jane Goodall
