AWA Wilderness & Wildlife Defenders: Castle Wildland, and Potatogate Public Land Sale

October 18, 2011

With a new premier, and a slate of new ministers in Alberta, there is a feeling of change and some optimism that progress can finally be made on better protection for Alberta’s wildlands and wildlife.

When citizens and their representatives in government fail to place a high value on wilderness as a resource in itself, then its disappearance – especially in reasonably accessible locations – is swift and certain.
