Our Priorities Permanent Protection for BC’s Flathead River Valley A vital wildlife corridor and one of the world's purest rivers needs a National Park and an adjoining Wildlife Management Area to provide permanent protection from coal strip mining and other threats. Protecting the Southern Strait of Georgia From killer whales to fish to shorebirds, the Southern Strait of Georgia teems with life. Provincial and federal governments must finalize a National Marine Conservation Area designation from Gabriola Passage to Haro Strait, so it can continue to nurture both humans and wildlife for generations to come. Sharing and Protecting BC’s Water Water is the fundamental link between human societies and our environment. To "modernize" BC’s antiquated Water Act, particularly in the face of a changing climate, it must provide adequate flows for healthy ecosystems, protect groundwater, increase public participation, and emphasize uses of water that better reflect social and environmental priorities. Strengthening the Carbon Tax B.C. demonstrated significant leadership with the introduction of North America's most ambitious carbon tax. Improving its effectiveness and fairness will make it an even better tool and model for building the low-carbon economy of the future. Protecting Nature in Light of Climate Change Nature is not immune to the impacts of climate change, especially when it's already weakened by decades of poor management practices. We need a law and policy framework to set the stage for a science-based, legally designated, and interconnected conservation network in BC to give our diverse and abundant landscapes a fighting chance.
