3. CPAWS
What is CPAWS? CPAW stands for Canadian Parks And Wilderness, it is a charity for wilderness
What do they do? They make sure that they keep important parks of Canada’s wilderness and to make sure it is safe for all of the species of animals.
How can we get involved? We can get involved by not littering and not wrecking animals homes/habitats.

4. One of the current CPAWS projects
One of the CPAWS project was trying to get people to enjoy nature more. To do that they went to grades 2-12 and giving them either a presentation, going on a hike, or hosting a contest to inspire them to take action and protect the environment. You can take action by supporting the wildlife spaces and making sure none of you garbage ends up on the ground.

5. Difference between extinct, extirpated, endangered, threatened, and population declining.
When something is Extinct, the whole species no longer exists anywhere in the world. When something is extirpated, a species no longer exists in Canada, but exists elsewhere in the world. When something is endangered, a species is threatened with imminent extinction or extirpation throughout all or a significant portion of its Canadian range. When something threatened a species is likely to become endangered in Canada if the factors affecting its vulnerability are not reversed. And last but not least a population declining is when a species is losing its numbers by being endangered or even threatened.

6. Canadian examples of species that are extinct (the other kinds too)
Some of the Canadian species that have gone extinct are:
Banff longnose dace: a tiny fish that only exists in a marsh in Banff National Park. It went extinct because chlorine start leaking from a pool and a beaver dam.
Blue walleye: it was once a common fish in Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, but it was overfished out of existence. The last confirmed blue walleye to be caught was nearly half a century ago.
Lake Ontario kiyi: a deepwater fish, it is now extinct because people overfished them too much.

11. What is a WIN card
A win card ( Wildlife identification Number )is like a credit card but you use to show that you are aloud to hunt legally but you would use it to purchase a hunting or fishing law too. Hunters in Alberta must have a 10-digit Wildlife Identification Number (WIN) to apply for draws(a draw is a wildlife certificate), purchase wildlife certificates, licences and replacements. The cost is $8.00 and is valid for five years; renewal fee is also $8.00.If purchasing at an Issuer please bring your WIN Card. Please keep your information up to date; address changes can be made online or at an issuer.

13. How are hunting and fishing laws different for Indigenous peoples?
The one thing Indigenous people cannot legally do is bargain away their Aboriginal rights, treaty rights or reserved lands to anyone other than the Crown in right of Canada. Generally, Aboriginal people have the same legal rights as other Canadians and may be able to claim special rights by virtue of their Aboriginal status, which is a complex issue.

14. How are national and provincial parks involved in preserving nature and species, while promoting tourism?
National and provincial parks are places where people can enjoy and appreciate protected nature in ways that leave them “unimpaired” for the benefit of future generations of Canadians. To fulfil this promise, Parks Canada is tasked with carefully managing our national parks to ensure their ecological integrity is protected first and foremost. Unfortunately, in the past few years, CPAWS has noted the following trends in Parks Canada’s management of our national parks:
1. More behind closed door decision making, with less public engagement, and a growing disregard for public feedback in decisions.
2. An increasing focus on tourism, marketing, increased visitation, supporting non nature focused recreational activities, and revenue generation, without adequate attention to the implications this might have for the parks’ ecological integrity.
3. Decisions being made that contravene existing policies and legislation specifically designed to limit development and protect ecological integrity in our national parks.

15. What kinds of things are you not allowed to do in provincial/national parks?
Camping
Drink Alcohol
Go Boating
Start a Fire
Off Road Driving
Bring Pets
Wildlife Viewing
Hunting - firearms
Play with Drones
