The Northwest Territories Chapter of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS-NWT) is part of a national non-profit conservation organization dedicated to protecting Canada's wilderness.

Our mission is to conserve the land, water and wildlife of the NWT for current and future generations, by working together with NWT residents, governments, communities and organizations.

 

 CPAWS-NWT's three main conservation goals are:

  1. conserving the natural and cultural values of the Mackenzie Valley;
  2. conserving the natural and cultural values of the Mackenzie Mountains, and
  3. keeping Great Bear Lake clean and bountiful for all time.

We are based in Yellowknife and were formed by a group of volunteers in 1996.
