Protect Nahanni forever!
Let's get it done!
CPAWS is calling on Prime Minister Harper to act quickly on his recent election promise to finalize the expansion of Nahanni National Park Reserve - a renowned World Heritage Site in Canada's Northwest Territories. In the summer of 2007, Prime Minister Harper announced the temporary protection of the South Nahanni Watershed for the park expansion. Now it's time to finish the job by permanently protecting these lands in an expanded national park reserve!
