Your voice counts!
In the next few months, the Canadian government is expected to make a final decision on new boundaries for an expanded Nahanni National Park Reserve — a renowned World Heritage Site in Canada's Northwest Territories.

Nahanni News
- In April 2008, Environment Minister John Baird announced interim protection for Nahanni Headwaters.
- Last summer, the Prime Minister committed to a massive expansion of Nahanni National Park.
- Last fall, public consultations on new Nahanni park boundaries found overwhelming support for protecting the entire South Nahanni watershed.
How YOU can help:
You can add your voice to the chorus of support for protecting the entire watershed in a national park by sending a message to the Prime Minister and other federal decision makers.
CPAWS, local First Nations, scientists and thousands of Canadians support protecting the entire South Nahanni watershed and Nahanni karstlands as the best way to secure wildlife habitat for grizzly bears and woodland caribou, clean water and the wilderness values of this remarkable Canadian landscape. After many years of research and consultation, it is time for a final decision.
Decisions are expected soon, so don't delay! Even if you have already written on this issue, another message is needed to help secure the final decision.
