Waterton – Glacier In Danger is an unprotected Flathead in BC endangering a World Heritage Site?

Draft Resolution

We have seen the draft resolution for the Waterton-Glacier site.  The document contains some positive items-and it also includes some items that could improve the document.

There are some strong recommendations that are intended to prevent the site from ending up on the "In Danger" list, which is the most important aspect of this effort.    See below:

Something that is not noted in this report is indigenous concerns. Check out this video to hear them.

The Canadian and American delegations have been working on a new version of these recommendations, and the report will be open for discussion during the meetings in the next few days.  Lets hope that something is added to recognize the concerns of the first nations of the area. Stay tuned for updates.
