2012-05-14 AWA Wilderness & Wildlife Defenders: Federal Budget Will Weaken Canada’s Most Important Environmental Laws

In its April 26, 2012 proposed budget, the federal government has included many changes to significantly weaken Canada’s most important environmental laws. Please raise your voice as a concerned Albertan and Canadian: support responsible environmental management by writing the Prime Minister and your MP. We all need to let our representatives know that bundling non-budgetary changes into a budget, and the substantial weakening of Canada’s environmental laws, is not acceptable.

Tar sands and other oil-gas activities in those herds’ ranges would not be disturbed. Please write Environment Minister Peter Kent and ask him to protect habitat that woodland caribou require for long-term survival and recovery, rather than encouraging decades-long killing of many thousands of wolves.
