Save BC’s Flathead Valley
Nestled into BC’s southeast corner is a wilderness area of global significance called the Flathead Valley.
Sometimes
compared with Africa’s Serengeti for its richness of species, the
Flathead’s rare convergence of wildlife and stunning vistas are under
threat from mountain-top removal coal mining and other industrial
development.
We can all encourage British
Columbia to permanently protect the Flathead Valley and safeguard it
from destructive coal mining in adjacent areas.

Here is a cool ad from WWF Canada. They recycled all their past video clips to create this ad.
For the First Nations people who have lived for thousands of years on the Eastside of Lake Winnipeg this is the place where the Creator sits
– Manidoo Abi.
The intent of Landscapes from Manidoo Abi is to capture for the first time ever the timeless beauty of the land and waterways on the Eastside
of Lake Winnipeg and share these stunning colour photograph images with the rest of the world, and to broadly promote the area, as stated by
UNESCO, “as an outstanding example of the Canadian Boreal Shield both geographically and culturally.”
