Albertans dedicated to protecting our parks, public lands and waters, and vanishing wilderness 🌻🐞🪶🌱
- ⚠️ Fortress Mountain Resort Proposal Released ⚠️ When the All-Seasons Resort Act passed, our worst fear was that public land would be converted into private development in regions that *cannot* support more... and now it's come true 🫣 cpaws-southernalberta.org/fortress-mou... #DefendAlbertaParks

- DFO has approved MORE than 60 new crossings in the Upper #Oldman, including a bridge at one of the most important bull trout spawning sites in the Eastern Slopes. Send your letter today to demand that the permit be revoked, and Alberta’s at-risk native trout be protected. bit.ly/3NCATVF
- Logging & its associated infrastructure are supposed to be constructed in ways that prevent excessive sediment from entering streams and harming at-risk native trout. But regulations ONLY work if they’re actually enforced. Our new storymap shows the reality on the ground: bit.ly/4rewfLU
- Our Executive Director, Katie Morrison, speaks to the shocking reality of #CoalMine pollution — and the muzzling of the Government of Alberta's own scientists. #MountainsNotMines #WaterNotCoal #WaterIsLife
- ⚠️ The All-Seasons Resort Act exposes Alberta’s parks, protected areas, and public lands — places cherished by Albertans and vital for biodiversity — to the development of year-round, private resorts ⚠️ Learn more at cpaws-southernalberta.org/all-seasons-... 👈🏼 #DefendAlbertaParks #AlbertaParks

- 💡 #Highwood Update 💡 At least for this winter, we believe we can safely say the #Kananaskis clearcut will NOT proceed. If it weren't for our collective efforts to pause this logging (multiple times), the #BullTrout population we confirmed might already be gone 🐟🧪🔬 As ever, let's keep going!
- Abertans have had their say — and every time, we've said no to coal. Demand answers, and demand action. Send a letter to your MLA telling them you oppose coal mining in the #EasternSlopes of Alberta's #RockyMountains. And ask them: What are you doing, or going to do, about it? #MountainsNotMines

[Not loaded yet] - Our latest blog includes some frankly shocking revelations... ... including the fact that the DFO allowed the forestry industry to destroy legally protected #CriticalHabitat for #SpeciesAtRisk, because industry was concerned the rules were too onerous 🌲🪓🪵 cpaws-southernalberta.org/critical-hab...

- ⚠️ Despite the now-deconstructed Highwood Bridge being built in #CriticalHabitat for #BullTrout, DFO has elected NOT to fine West Fraser ⚠️ If companies can break the DFO's own rules and face no meaningful consequences, how can we expect endangered species to survive? #DefendAlbertaForests #Cdn #Ab

- After removing the bridge that damaged Critical Habitat for bull trout in the Upper Highwood, DFO has approved the construction of another bridge... in the same location. If only this was satire. The full story: cpaws-southernalberta.org/dfo-issuing-...

- We value @youralberta.bsky.social's verbal commitment to protecting Alberta’s waters from selenium pollution, but it's time for ACTION. For real protections, we need this written into the forthcoming provincial coal policy (CIMI) and the Coal Mining Effluent Regulations. Details: ow.ly/1f0m50X5clN

- Time and again, coal companies fail to meet their contractual obligations — yet @youralberta.bsky.social continues to hand over taxpayer dollars in behind-the-scenes cash settlements. #MountainsNotMines #WaterNotCoal #WaterIsLife #Treaty7 #Alberta #AbLeg #AbPoli www.instagram.com/cpawssab/ree...
