About Earthroots



Earthroots is a grassroots conservation organization dedicated to the preservation of wilderness, wildlife and watersheds in Canada, with a focus on Ontario.



Earthroots has been on the front lines of wilderness conservation since 1986, when our predecessor organization, the Temagami Wilderness Society [TWS] was formed. The TWS was created to fight for the preservation of rare old growth white and red pine forests in the Temagami region of northern Ontario. After campaign success in the Temagami region, the organization changed its name to Earthroots in 1991, in order to broaden the organization’s campaign focus beyond the Temagami issue.



Earthroots consists of two separate organizations: Earthroots Fund, a charitable organization [registration #135165140 RR0001] that engages in public education and research, and Earthroots Coalition, a non-profit organization that engages in advocacy and action. Earthroots` campaigns focus on achieving meaningful protection for Ontario`s threatened wilderness areas and wildlife species. Earthroots acts on behalf of 12,000 supporters across the country.
