Our Arctic

At first glance, the Arctic might seem empty,
but it’s actually full of life. Communities of
plants, animals and people all make their
homes in, on, under or at the edge of the
ice. Our lives depend on biodiversity and our
actions can destroy or preserve it. Make your
pledge and learn more about how you can
protect biodiversity.

Canada’s accredited zoos and aquariums are a vital connection to the natural world for an increasingly urbanized population.

They bring the reality of animals and their threatened environment to people in a way that raises awareness and motivates positive action to ensure the future of the world’s wildlife.
