Nahanni
In the ongoing effort to protect Canada's precious wilderness, it's important to pause occasionally and recognize the progress we've made.

After reviewing our photos, and making notes in my journal I am still in amazement at the awesome experiences we had this past month.

Nahanni: Protected Forever!
One of Canada's most spectacular Boreal wilderness sites, a top 10 world paddling destination and home to a waterfall twice as high as Niagara, is now protected from industrial development FOREVER! The recently expanded Nahanni National Park Reserve and World Heritage Site now protects over 30 000 square km along the Northwest Territories' South Nahanni River, making it Canada's third-largest National Park.
What is The Big Wild?
Watch our 92-second video to get the low down on The Big Wild.
In 2008 Mountain Equipment Co-op, in partnership with CPAWS, created
The Big Wild. MEC provides funding, research and staff for The Big
Wild, which makes it easy for Canadians to stand up for wilderness.
