The road to a conservation win in Canada is a noisy one filled with many voices. So, when we have a win, we tend to get a little loud. This is your cue to make some noise now that the BC government has announced a ban on all oil, gold and coal extraction in the Flathead River Valley. The announcement came down during this week’s throne speech and it means big things for the environment.
The Flathead River Valley is located in the southeastern corner of British Columbia and, in addition to being home to many familiar big mammals, is also home to more species of wild flowers than anywhere else on the planet. And, since last fall, the Flathead River Valley has been a featured campaign on The Big Wild.
