Thank you so much, Nigel! Agreed! What an incredible group of female conservation leaders we've got in this province.
💰 Provincial budgets aren’t just a fiscal strategy, they reveal what our government plans to prioritize in the coming year.
Here's CPAWS Alberta's in-depth summary of how this budget is set to affect the future of parks and protected areas, coal, tourism, and species at risk: ow.ly/4BSB50Yqqac

❓If you’re wondering how DFO is justifying its approval of permits to destroy Critical Habitat in one of the most important bull trout spawning areas in the Southern Eastern Slopes, it mostly comes down to this: Offsetting.

In this post my colleague Shaun Fluker provides an important critique of the All Season Resort Act & the truly exceptional provisions that exempt new all season resort proposals (e.g. Fortress) from otherwise applicable rules. @albertawilderness.bsky.social
@cpawssab.bsky.social #abpoli #ableg
And @cpawssab.bsky.social has a strong critique of the Fortress proposal here.

⚠️ Fortress Mountain Resort Proposal Released ⚠️
When the All-Seasons Resort Act passed, our worst fear was that public land would be converted into private development in regions that *cannot* support more... and now it's come true 🫣

Last week the #GovernmentofAlberta released its Plan For Parks and Crown Land Strategy. While we and @cpawssab.bsky.social commend the thoughtful incorporation of public feedback, concerns remain about implementation 🔗: cpawsnab.org/all-news/new...
DFO has approved MORE than 60 new crossings in the Upper #Oldman, including a bridge at one of the most important bull trout spawning sites in the Eastern Slopes.
Send your letter today to demand that the permit be revoked, and Alberta’s at-risk native trout be protected. bit.ly/3NCATVF
Logging & its associated infrastructure are supposed to be constructed in ways that prevent excessive sediment from entering streams and harming at-risk native trout.
But regulations ONLY work if they’re actually enforced.

... alter the contents and/or nature of the final ToR. We have submitted feedback as an organization, as have other non-profits, but we wouldn't worry overmuch about submitting input as an individual and (again) Northback's framing it as engagement is misleading at best.
Hey there! This is actually input for the Terms of Reference. It's quite technical, and somewhat misleading of Northback to frame it as an opportunity for meaningful public engagement, when the terminology and nature of the document makes it quite inaccessible and unlikely for public feedback to...
Fantastic work — thanks for including us!
Our Executive Director, Katie Morrison, speaks to the shocking reality of #CoalMine pollution — and the muzzling of the Government of Alberta's own scientists.

⚠️ The All-Seasons Resort Act exposes Alberta’s parks, protected areas, and public lands — places cherished by Albertans and vital for biodiversity — to the development of year-round, private resorts ⚠️

Elections Alberta has just issued a press release confirming that Corb Lund's coal petition meets the requirements of the Act.
"The GoA shall prohibit by law any and all new coal mining activities, including new approvals and permits, within the Eastern Slopes of the Rocky Mountains."

💡 #Highwood Update 💡
At least for this winter, we believe we can safely say the #Kananaskis clearcut will NOT proceed.
If it weren't for our collective efforts to pause this logging (multiple times), the #BullTrout population we confirmed might already be gone 🐟🧪🔬
As ever, let's keep going!

Abertans have had their say — and every time, we've said no to coal.
Demand answers, and demand action.
Send a letter to your MLA telling them you oppose coal mining in the #EasternSlopes of Alberta's #RockyMountains.
And ask them: What are you doing, or going to do, about it?
#MountainsNotMines
Good interview. @robbreakenridge.bsky.social does a nice job of introducing citizen initiatives & Corb an equally good job of explaining why we need clear legislation to prohibit coal mining activities in the eastern slopes.
