This 2001 report explains why Manitoba is falling behind, compared to other western provinces, in protecting its natural heritage for future generations. Between 47% to 62% of the Duck Mountain, Nopiming and Whiteshell Provincial Parks are open to industrial activities such as clear-cut logging. The report recommends writing the government to urge for full protection of these parks and to create new parks such as the proposed Sturgeon Bay and Manigotagan Parks.
