Save the Peel Watershed - Wind and Snake Rivers...

These rivers create part of the Peel River watershed. Under the Final Agreement of the First nations Land Claims, the First Nations and Yukon Government are committed to agreeing on a land use plan. A Planning Commission was formed and they have recommended 80% protection of the watershed. Affected First Nations, while supportive of the Commissions work, are calling for protection of the entire Peel Watershed. Other groups are lobbying the government for no protection.

Watch this video that shows the magnificent features of the watershed and hear the opinions of the First Nations leaders.

 

Oct 1st is the deadline to tell decision makers that you feel the Planning Commission did a thorough job and whether you feel that the Commission went far enough in recommending 80% protection or whether you support the First Nations goal of 100% protection for the Peel watershed.
