World-leading Land Use Planning: the Atlin-Taku

If B.C. is the best place on Earth, the Atlin-Taku region is a big – big – part of the reason. Stretching over 30,000 square kilometres, the Atlin-Taku covers an area nearly the size of Vancouver Island. This northwest B.C. landscape remains virtually pristine, with few roads intruding on its high alpine landscapes, wild rivers, boreal wilderness and temperate rainforests.

This is a world with countless creatures great and small, including grizzly and black bears, caribou, wolves, moose, mountain sheep, mountain goats – even seals in the mouth of the Taku River. The Taku watershed is northern B.C. and southeast Alaska’s most significant salmon habitat, supporting all five Pacific salmon species and the commercial and recreational fishing industries that depend on them.

Nature has a way of nurturing this northern landscape. But nature now needs our help.
