Congratulations to all CPAWS supporters!

In a surprise move, the B.C. government ordered a complete ban on mining activity in the Flathead Valley. It's great news for CPAWS and all our supporters, as we've waged a three-decade long battle to protect the Flathead. Congratulations to all who wrote letters and supported the campaign financially. 

This Rocky Mountain valley is home to the greatest density of grizzly bears in the interior of North America, along with the complete native suite of predators and prey, like wolves and elk.

The B.C. government announced the mining ban in its Throne Speech, along with a new working relationship with Montana to protect the transborder wilderness that extends into the United States.

The Flathead Valley is nestled in the southeast corner of British Columbia, above and beside Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, a World Heritage Site and United Nations Biosphere Reserve. The Flathead's major river flows south to form the western border of the peace park in Montana. Mining would have hurt the purity of that river water and ultimately damaged the larger ecosystem.

Please add your voice to protect BC’s mighty Atlin-Taku. This vital landscape – hosting the most important salmon river in northern B.C. – remains a hot topic. B.C. is drafting a land-use plan. How much of this landscape will our government protect? How much will go to industry?
