What We Do
A Legacy of Impact
Our vision is to keep at least half of Manitoba's public land and water wild — forever. We focus on protecting many important areas of Manitoba's wilderness.
Manitoba has pledged to protect at least 30% of our lands and terrestrial waters by the end of 2030. So far, 11.1% is protected. We need ambitious action from the provincial government to achieve this goal.
CPAWS Manitoba has been instrumental in establishing 23 parks and protected areas in our province. That’s an area larger than Lake Winnipeg: nearly 26,000 square kilometres.
CPAWS has been protecting our Canadian Wilderness since 1963. The Manitoba chapter was founded in 1991.
13.7% of Canada’s lands and inland waters were protected in 2023, up from 10.6% in 2016.
