Dear John, A healthy Boundary Waters ecosystem is key to solving the climate emergency.
Did you know that scientific modeling by two major conservation organizations identifed the Boundary Waters region as among the most important areas in North America to help ward off the worst of the climate crisis?
Or, that along with the Superior National Forest, the Boundary Waters contains 20% of all the freshwater in the entire National Forest System?
As the climate crisis intensifies, the urgent need to safeguard our planet's most vital ecosystems is becoming evident. It’s undeniable that the Boundary Waters is one of those special landscapes.
The summer of 2023 has shattered heat records and the Canadian wildfires have cast a somber shadow on our outdoor experiences that we so cherish. But, preservation efforts can play a pivotal role in addressing the climate and extinction emergency. Amidst these challenges, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness stands as a beacon of hope.
Proposed sulfide-ore copper mining threatens this boreal landscape, endangering the very characteristics essential for the ecosystem's role in tackling climate change and protecting biodiversity.
