Our purpose is to raise awareness for endangered species by throwing events that gather the Queen's community together in a safe and fun environment, and by consistently advertising our cause on the internet and campus. We help Queen's students become more informed about the decreasing diversity of species and what they can do to help. Our members become personally involved in local and internatio
nal conservation programs. Doing so helps Queen's students learn more about the conservation of endangered species and their habitats, while allowing them the unique opportunity to make a difference in the world. Conservation Queen’s is an AMS club that is passionate about endangered species awareness and conservation. Raising Awareness and Funds
CQ runs monthly campaigns to raise awareness for a cause related to the conservation of endangered species. For the 2016-2017 school year, fundraising campaigns included the tricolour bat, sea turtles and wolverines.. We raise awareness in many creative ways: social media, community presentations, sidewalk chalk, etc. Awareness campaigns are designed to teach the Queen’s and Kingston communities about various endangered species as well as how their actions impact these species. CQ runs exciting and diverse monthly fundraising events. From events at local night clubs and bars to bake sales and hot chocolate sales, CQ keeps the community informed about our cause in entertaining ways. We strive to provide students with a fun and safe environment to support our cause. All proceeds go to conservation efforts. Community Outreach
CQ reaches out to the community by educating them on the importance of conservation as well as by giving members of the community an opportunity to help in conservation efforts (e.g., shoreline clean-up, community clean-up). CQ members may volunteer to speak at local elementary schools and community centres. Conservation Efforts
CQ members visit conservation centres to become personally engaged in local and international conservation programs. Participation in ongoing conservation efforts is the primary focus of the club. For example, CQ works closely with Operation Wallacea, a program where you can become immersed in wildlife
