Canadians Willing to Make Sacrifices to Recover Caribou in our National Parks

October 3, 2012

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.”

No public hearings are scheduled. Only one Alberta organization, the Alberta Wilderness Association, is independent enough that it continues championing public land and the people's right of access to it. So people must speak individually, as they have so many times before, directly to the premier, the minister of Sustainable Resource Development and their MLA, and remind them of what public land means to all of us, that none of it is surplus to our needs, that we do not want it sold.
