Northwest Wildlife Preservation Society (NWPS) was founded by Sherry Pettigrew (wife of WWF-Canada President) serving as the first Executive Director and continues to hold a position on the NWPS Board of Directors as an Honourary Director. The organization was incorporated in 1987 as a non-profit society, dedicated to preserving healthy wildlife and wildlife systems in northwest North America. Since that time, NWPS continues to earn reputation in the environmental movement as a powerful advocate for wildlife and wildlife habitats. NWPS was a founding member of the Wolf Working Group and fulfilled an advisory role on numerous committees for wildlife preservation. Additionally, NWPS organized conferences, forums, and symposiums that brought together diverse interests in the areas of wildlife management policy, protection and conservation.
