This is where a huge ski resort is being planned by the BC Government in conjunction with a land developer. The area does have roads going up to it and clear cuts from logging almost up to the glacier alpine, but it's an incredibly small area and an important corridor for wildlife, particularly Grizzly Bear. It also needs to stay undeveloped if there is any chance that the mountain caribou could be brought back with conservation biology recovery approaches. Check out
HERE the film that was released last month to help keep
JUMBO WILD! The
West Kootenay Eco-Society is also working super hard to stop this resort project.
