Tatshenshini - North America's Wildest River Threatened

This is a 1991 Wilderness Committee education report which was co-published with the group, Tatshenshini Wild, about the campaign to preserve the Tatshenshini River in the face of a plan by the mining company Geddes to construct a massive open pit copper mine in the heart of this wilderness area. In 1994 the campaign to preserve the Tatsenshini met success with the creation of the Tatshenshini-Alsek Provincial Park, which is 958,000 hectares in size. See our History and Achievements page.
