2012-10-03 Canadians Willing to Make Sacrifices to Recover Caribou in our National Parks

Wild Lands Advocate update, August 2012, by Nigel Douglas. A recently-released Parks Canada report reveals the findings that Canadians support renewed efforts to recover threatened caribou in the Rocky Mountain National Parks, even if that means some compromises have to be made.

“AWA hopes that Parks Canada will remember these findings when it decides whether or not to allow future developments, such as Jasper’s planned expansion of the Marmot Basin ski hill into caribou range. Ecological integrity remains the priority of Canadians, even if that means restricting development.”
