Environmental Movement

The environmental movement seeks to protect the natural world and promote sustainable living. It had its beginnings in the conservation efforts of the early 1900s, when conservationists aimed to slow the rapid depletion of Canadian resources in favour of more regulated management.

Your monthly donation will help us create new articles and update existing articles and timelines, to ensure Canadian students and teachers have access to accurate and fact-checked information written and edited by Canadians.
