Ecology North is a charitable, non-profit organization based in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada that was formed in 1971 to support sound environmental decision-making on an individual, community and regional level.
Ecology North’s environmental education programming focuses on five priority areas: climate action, water stewardship, waste reduction, biodiversity and food sovereignty. A common thread throughout all of the Ecology North programming is an emphasis on environmental, social, and community well-being.
Ecology North maintains collaborative partnerships with a number of other local community and educational organizations to promote public education, sustainable living and climate change adaptation and mitigation on environmental initiatives.
