Urgent: ENGO Sign-On Opposing CCME Commitment Statement of Environmental Sustainability

Suffield National Wildlife Area Must be Protected for Wildlife, Not Industry

Alberta Wilderness Association

News Release: November 17, 2005

A mere two years after it was designated amid much pomp and ceremony, the Suffield National Wildlife Area (SNWA) in southeastern Alberta is the focus of a proposed intensive drilling effort by EnCana Corporation. AWA opposes any further industrialization of this federally protected native grassland.

"This area is of national and international significance, and wildlife values must take priority-after all the Government of Canada saw fit to designate it a National Wildlife Area," says Cliff Wallis, AWA past-president and grasslands expert. "We don't need more studies to know the value of this native grassland. We want to go straight to a public hearing and challenge the very essence of this project- industrial natural gas development in one of Canada's crown jewels of wildlife habitat." Read More

Green Paper on Energy and Climate Change to be presented at COP 11 ­- ENGOs urged to sign-on

The global environment and all the living species it supports are threatened by changes in climate brought about by human activities in industrialized countries. Energy policies implemented during the next 10 years will determine whether these changes can be minimized.

The Green Paper on Energy and Climate Change was prepared for and by members of the Canadian Environmental Network (RCEN) for discussion at their annual conference in September 2005 in order to provide a background and to stimulate discussion on climate change and energy issues, especially on the long-term role and strategy Canada should take on these issues beyond 2012. The Paper is intended to be presented to Environment Minister Stéphan Dion before the First Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol in Montreal, November 28 to December 9, 2005 (COP 11) and to be released during the COP. The paper also supports the Declaration on Climate Justice and the Montreal Climate Change Summit prepared by the Climate Action Network-Canada. Read More
