Indigenous peoples call the place where transboundary wild salmon rivers originate the “Sacred Headwaters.” The mining industry calls it the “Golden Triangle.” A recent expert analysis highlighted that six of British Columbia, Canada’s riskiest massive mine waste dams are located on these transboundary river systems – and are predicted to “destroy ecosystems and/or kill people when they fail.” Tribes, First Nations, and Alaska municipalities are calling for a total ban on mine waste dams and a pause on British Columbia gold mining along Alaska-B.C. transboundary rivers until binding watershed protections are implemented. Let’s work collectively through the leadership of Indigenous communities on both sides of the political border in order to steward these rivers long into the future. Salmon Beyond Borders is an Alaska-based campaign working with fishermen, business owners, community leaders, and concerned citizens, alongside Tribes and First Nations on both sides of the Alaska-B.C. border, to defend and sustain our transboundary wild salmon rivers, jobs, and way of life. Join the movement to defend the rivers that feed us. Learn more and take action at: 🐟 https://lnkd.in/gc6UdZ7c 🐟 👉🏿👉🏾👉🏽👉🏼👉🏻👉 SalmonState
