✅Join the Conservation Council of New Brunswick in supporting the current CPAWS campaign. Take action now by sending this letter (link: https://cpawsnb.org/take-action/) to show the provincial government that you want strong protected areas in NB. The province has promised to protect 15% of the province for nature. They are under heavy pressure from the forestry industry to weaken this protection and make future protected areas smaller and fewer.
