How to keep the Mackenzie WILD
To support Canada’s commitments to protect the global atmosphere, governments must guarantee that any Mackenzie gas that is produced is used to displace carbon-intensive fuels such as coal and oil and not be used to fuel expansion of tar sands developments.
To protect the biodiversity and ecology of the Mackenzie Valley, governments must ensure that:
- cumulative environmental effects of developments such as the MGP are assessed and mitigated; and
- an interconnected network of protected areas is established.
To ensure sustainable, healthy Mackenzie Valley communities, governments must
- promote community-controlled land use planning;
- invest in green energy initiatives.
To respect the rights of Mackenzie Valley Indigenous Peoples, governments must:
- Ensure full partnership of Indigenous People’s organizations in directing environmental assessments; and
- Incorporate traditional environmental knowledge into environmental assessments.
