Sacred Headwaters

This is an excellent Global TV news story on efforts to save the "sacred headwaters" of the Skeena, Nass and Stikine rivers with interviews by Mark Angelo, Chair of the Rivers Institute at BCIT, and others. In response to growing pressure following the endangered rivers release of a few weeks ago, the BC government yesterday announced another temporary extension to the moratorium on coalbed methane development. But the Shell tenure remains in tact and full blown development could begin in 2012. Conservation groups are pushing for a permanent moratorium to protect one of Canada's most important natural landscapes.
