Oil Sands Advisor

Location: St. Albert, Alberta

WWF, the global conservation organization, is one of the world's largest and most respected independent conservation organizations. WWF has a global network active in over 100 countries with almost 5 million supporters.

WWF's mission is to stop the degradation of the earth's natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature, by conserving the world's biological diversity, ensuring that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable, and promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption.

WWF-Canada has a tremendous history of accomplishment, and is currently focusing on preventing dangerous climate change, as well as investing in long-term conservation efforts in Canada's Grand Banks, the Pacific Coast, the Mackenzie Valley in the north, and the Greater Antilles (Cuba). This is an exciting period at WWF-Canada.

Alberta's oil sands are the fastest growing source of greenhouse gas in Canada and a major impediment to the adoption of enlightened climate change policy in Canada. WWF has concluded that in order to avoid dangerous climate change the world will have to phase out its dependence on fossil fuels. The anticipated massive expansion of the GHG-intensive oil sands industry will contribute to dangerous climate change.
