Wilderness Committee publications
We have listed all the eduational reports here going back to 1984. We had to alter the lay-out of the original print publications to adapt them to the web-site format, but we have tried to stay close to the origninal design when that was possible. Hard-copies of most of the papers can still be ordered, although in limited numbers.

Picture in your mind the iconic, almost mythic geography of Canada's north: vast land-scapes, pounding herds of caribou, gangly moose feeding beside freshwater sloughs, a pack of wolves silhouetted against a moonlit winter, tall, jagged mountains, and rushing rivers silvered with wild salmon. All that, and much more, is the Taku watershed.

BC's government seems to be pushing ahead with the Gateway project despite criticism concerning the environmental impacts of the plans. The Gateway plans have been developed without a full and impartial cost/benefit analysis, without public consultation, and without a cumulative effects assessment. Please read this paper. It represents the concerns of a number of environmental groups about this issue and is call to get you involved or to speak out.
