Biodiversity and Me
Humans and wildlife are all part of biodiversity to which other species do you most relate?
Take the QuizWhat is Biodiversity?
Biodiversity encompasses every living thing, from the smallest creatures like krill to the largest mammals like Wood Bison, and from city streets to wilderness reserves. These species and organisms are deeply connected and intertwined, and the way in which they interact with each other and their physical environment makes up what we call an ecosystem.

Through scientific research, education and on-the-ground conservation work, CWF is carrying out major initiatives across Canada to conserve biodiversity in terrestrial, freshwater and marine environments. Along the way, we provide training opportunities and resources to propel conservation forward and connect all Canadians to nature!

Thanks to our supporters and partners, biodiversity is becoming better understood, and we hope more Canadians embrace this chance to showcase biodiversity and help reverse species declines. Together we can do more for wildlife.”
