Show Notes:
Plans for a year-round ski resort on the Jumbo Glacier in the Purcell Mountains of B.C. have stalled following a declaration of sovereignity by the Ktunaxa First Nation. They say development in this area would decimate the grizzly population and break an important link in the Yellowstone to Yukon wildlife corridor.
We speak with Robyn Duncan, Purcell Program Manager for Wildsight and Kathryn Teneese, Ktunaxa Nation Council Chair. For more information, check out Keep Jumbo Wild and Grizzly Bear Spirit.
