Spread the word of the importance of protecting beluga whales and Hudson Bay through the CPAWS Manitoba colouring contest.

The Western Hudson Bay is home to some of the largest concentrations of beluga whales and polar bears in the world. And it needs protection.

The situation in western Hudson Bay is a prime example of why Canada needs to triple ocean habitat protection. Manitoba has lost a third of its polar bear population in the past two decades and beluga whales in western Hudson Bay have been on Canada’s species-at-risk list since 2004.

With the largest concentration of beluga whales and polar bears on the planet, western Hudson Bay presents a spectacular opportunity to protect these animals and a vast richness of wildlife while building our economy and maintaining a treasured way of life.
