The Canadian Wildlife Federation’s True North Wildlife Conservation Awards shine a spotlight on Canada’s heroes of the natural world — the remarkable individuals, teams and organizations across Canada who dedicate themselves to conserving wildlife and their habitats. Recognizing these 
conservation champions is more than a symbolic gesture, it highlights the vital work being done to preserve biodiversity, safeguard ecosystems and ensure a sustainable future for all species. 

The CWF True North Wildlife Conservation Awards include six distinct categories. If you are interested in submitting a nomination, please read each award description carefully at CanadianWildlifeFederation. ca/Awards, then submit your nomination referencing the category you feel best aligns with the conservation work being done by the nominee.
