Wood Buffalo National Park Needs Stronger Cumulative Impacts Assessment from Parks Canada

April 13, 2018

AWA asks Parks Canada to strengthen two aspects of its draft environmental assessment of Wood Buffalo National Park:

  • Clearly state that the Outstanding Universal Values of the Peace-Athabasca Delta are suffering from adverse effects of development, and have significantly declined below an acceptable level;
  • Discuss the significant risk of inadequately reclaimed oil sands mine tailings because of technical and financial security shortcomings.

We have spectacular wilderness in Alberta, much of it under some form of protection. Every square millimetre of it has had to be fought for - will always have to be fought for, forever and ever. The struggle to retain and repair wilderness is conducted not just by a few individuals, but by large numbers of committed people, from all walks of life, all working in various ways toward the same end. We need to be grateful to all of them.
